How do I use the At utility on Linux to spawn an interactive system shell?

Output

To spawn an interactive shell using the `at` utility, here are a few approaches: 1. Basic method:

1
echo "/bin/bash -i" | at now
2. Alternative with here-document:
1
2
3
at now << EOF
/bin/bash -i
EOF
Note that: - The shell will run at the specified time - You need appropriate permissions to use `at` - The spawned shell inherits the environment from the `at` daemon - This may not work in all environments due to security controls Remember to use `atq` to list pending jobs and `atrm` to remove them if needed.

Query

How do I use the At utility on Linux to spawn an interactive system shell?

Output

You can use the "at" command to schedule a command to run at a later time. To spawn an interactive shell, you can use something like:

1
echo "sh" | at now + 1 minute
However, note that launching an interactive shell via "at" has limitations since "at" jobs run in a non-interactive environment. You won't get true interactive shell access this way. Consider SSH, direct terminal access, or other remote access tools if you need interactive shell access.

Output

To spawn an interactive shell using the "at" utility in Linux, you can schedule a command to launch a shell. However, note that "at" is designed for scheduling non-interactive commands, so getting a fully interactive shell requires some workarounds. Here are a few approaches: 1. Basic approach (may not be fully interactive):

1
2
3
at now
/bin/bash
[Ctrl+D]
2. Using script/terminal:
1
2
3
at now
script -c "/bin/bash" /dev/pts/0
[Ctrl+D]
3. Using terminal redirection:
1
2
3
at now
/bin/bash -i >$(tty) 2>&1 < $(tty)
[Ctrl+D]
Remember: - Press Ctrl+D to submit the at job - You may need to have at installed (sudo apt-get install at) - The at daemon (atd) must be running - You need appropriate permissions to use at Note: Using at for spawning interactive shells may not be the best approach for most use cases. Consider using standard terminal emulators or SSH for interactive shell access.

How do I use the At utility on Linux to spawn an interactive system shell?

Output

The `at` utility on Linux can be used to schedule commands for later execution. Here's how to spawn an interactive shell using `at`: 1. Basic syntax:

1
at TIME
2. At the prompt, enter your shell command:
1
/bin/bash
or
1
/bin/sh
3. Press Ctrl+D to save and submit the job Example with specific time:
1
2
3
at 2:30PM
/bin/bash
[Ctrl+D]
Note: - You need appropriate permissions to use `at` - The shell will run with your user permissions - You may need to configure terminal settings for true interactivity - Some systems may restrict `at` usage for security reasons Alternative method using here-document:
1
echo "/bin/bash" | at TIME
You can view scheduled jobs with:
1
atq
