You're confusing this with cron. At preserves your environment. If he's

Thanks, Ulf and Garry.
Ulf seems to be right, as the following
echo "XAUTHORITY=/run/user/1000/gdm/Xauthority DISPLAY=:0 gxmessage
\"hello\"" | at 7:52PM -M
while
echo "gxmessage \"hello\"" | at 7:52PM -M
does not.
Should I put
XAUTHORITY=/run/user/1000/gdm/Xauthority DISPLAY=:0

echo xxx
in the second line of the script and nothing was printed.
The log mentions the creation of a new session, which is closed when

gxmessage relays on an X11 display. You have none in a session started
via atd.
Assuming, you are running gnome and your uid is 1000,
XAUTHORITY=/run/user/1000/gdm/Xauthority DISPLAY=:0

Dear All,
I am trying to run a script with the following command:
echo "~/scripts/teste.sh" | at 5:59PM
