From: noelloen on 15 Sep 2006 12:27 Hi, I have a script that runs with arguemet like this, ../tstop.ksh arg1 then I want to schedule it with another script: #!/usr/bin/ksh #This is the schedule script, schedule.ksh at now + 15 minutes ./tstop.ksh $1 when I run ../schedule.ksh some_Arguement it gives error. I cannot run "at" command with command arguement. such that, at now + 15 minutes ./tstop.ksh anArgv would give an error "at: 0481-098 The specified date is not in the correct format." Thanks
