This could be implemented as a startup script, no?
On second thoughts, not quite trivial.
It wouldn't be hard to write a separate utility to schedule jobs to be
serviced at the next reboot; integrating this functionality into at(1)
would be nice, too, though maybe just a little bit harder - it would
require the time to parse the at(1) sources ;) Then it would be
as simple as making the command-line scheduling utility write the job
into the at-next-boot utility spool dir instead of the regular at(1)
spool dir; or maybe the at-next-boot utility could just look through
the regular at(1) spool dir for some specially-marked files that at(1)
would ignore..
I would be willing to do this, if no one else volunteers.
G'luck,
Peter
