Though it's not obvious from "at -h", the correct method to use at is to invoke it simply at "at 7pm". You will then be given an "at>" prompt inviting you to type in a script which will be run. So, to be clear enter "at 7pm", then press return to get the prompt. Now type "/etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart" and press resturn. Finally, press Ctrl+D to terminate your input. At should now confirm when your job will be run and give you a job number. Expect your output in the post (that is, any output from the job will be emailed to you). -- Darac Marjal
