Requires Decipher Cloud
The at, atq and atrm commands let you schedule, review and remove jobs to be run at a specified time in the future.
These are built-in UNIX commands and not Decipher-specific commands. If you are using these commands for email sends, you must use bulk directly, which lets the job you schedule show up in the https://v2.decipherinc.com/admin/mailqueue page.
1: Scheduling a Task
To schedule a job, go to the appropriate directory. Then run at with the date specification. You can run man at for a full list of formats, however, it's best to explicitly specify both time and date rather than using shortcuts. Then enter the commands to execute, and press Control+D on an empty line.
Example (with your input in bold):
cd to the correct directory at 11:59am Jan 31 2009at> command at> another command at> (control-d) job 1341 at 2009-01-31 11:59
This is typically used to schedule live and closed survey executions. For bulk email, use the -a option of bulk only.
1.1: Viewing Scheduled Tasks
To view what jobs you have pending, run atq.
The results will include the job IDs and the date it will be executed.
1.2: Viewing Task Details
To see what is in a job, run at -c jobid. You can ignore the first part of the result, which just sets up the environment; the main content is included at the bottom.
Note: You may only view your own jobs.
If you have many jobs, run bulkq to view all the job numbers plus the bulk command line in each one.
2: Removing a Task
To cancel a job, run atrm jobid.
