RHBA-2011:0016 - at bug fix update

Synopsis

at bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated at package that fixes bugs is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

At and batch read commands from standard input or from a specified file. At allows you to specify that a command will be run at a particular time. Batch will execute commands when the system load levels drop to a particular level. Both commands use /bin/sh.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • Previously, the at daemon (atd) wrongly contained permissions 0755 for atd configuration. With this update, atd has the correct permissions 0644 as have all other such files. (BZ#589099)

  • Previously, the initscript caused the "OK" message to be printed twice. With this update, the initscript behaves as expected and does no longer cause echos of messages. (BZ#615104)

  • Previously, the PIE label was not compiled with -fpie/-fPIE. This update adds a PIE compile option for secure positions independently executable on targets. (BZ#630019)

All users of at are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at This content is not included.http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259
