atq(1)
NAME
  atq - Prints the queue of jobs waiting to be run

SYNOPSIS
  atq [-c  | -n] [-q queuename] [user...]

  The atq command prints the queue of jobs waiting to be run at a later date.
  These jobs were created with the at command.

OPTIONS
  -c  Sorts the queue by the time that the at command was issued.

  -n  Prints only the number of files currently in the queue.

  -q queuename
      Specifies the queue you want to use.

DESCRIPTION
  With no options, the queue is sorted in the order that the jobs are to be
  executed.

  When a privileged user invokes the atq command without specifying a
  username, the entire queue is displayed; if a username is specified, only
  those jobs belonging to the specified user are displayed.

EXAMPLES
  In order to look at the queue created by the at command, enter:

       atq

  If there are jobs in the queue, a message similar to the following is
  displayed:

       root.62169200.a	       Tue Sep 12 11:00:00 1990

  The .a extension specifies an at job.
