|

.Nm Atrun
|
|
runs jobs queued by

.Pp
|
|
The system
|
|
.Xr crontab 5
|
|
file
|
|
.Pa /etc/crontab
|

.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
so
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is invoked every five minutes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
At every invocation,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
starts all the jobs in the lowercase queues whose start
|
|
time has elapsed.
|
|
In addition, if the load average over the last minute was less than
|
|
the specified limit, then a maximum of one batch job (denoted by the
|
|
uppercase queues) is started.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Before starting a job,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
checks the status of its owner's account with
|
|
.Xr pam 3
|
|
and refuses to run the job if the account is unavailable,
|
|
e.g., locked out or expired.
|
|
.Sh OPTIONS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl l Ar load_avg

|
|
not be run, instead of the default of 1.5 * number of active CPUs.
