When I execute the following command:
cd /some/path/here
at -t 201409301100
ls -al
<CTRL-D>
at -lov
I get the following output:
========================
myusername.1411755840.a Mon Sep 30 11:00:00 CDT 2014
========================
cd /some/path/here
ls -al
What is causing the `cd /some/path/here` command to appear? Other users on the same system are not seeing this behavior.
I'm using KornShell in AIX 6.1.
My `.envfile` contains:
if [ -t 0 ]; then
case `who am i | awk '{print $1}'` in
'myusername')
#set the prompt to include the date and time
#set -o allexport
unset _Y _M _D _h _m _s
eval $(date "+_Y=%Y;_M=%m;_D=%d;_h=%H;_m=%M;_s=%S")
((SECONDS = 3600*${_h#0}+60*${_m#0}+${_s#0}))
typeset -Z2 _h _m _s
_tsub="(_m=(SECONDS/60%60)) == (_h=(SECONDS/3600%24)) + (_s=(SECONDS%60))"
#_timehm='${_x[_tsub]}$_h:${_m}'
#_timehms='${_x[_tsub]}$_h:$_m:${_s}'
_timedhms=$_Y'/'$_M'/'$_D" "'${_x[_tsub]}$_h:$_m:${_s}'
_hn=`hostname`
typeset -u _hn
_un=`whoami | awk '{print $1}'`
typeset -u _un
export PS1="$_timedhms
"'['$_un']'$_hn':${PWD#$HOME/} $ '
#set +o allexport

An at job is executed in the directory where the `at` command was called.
Different implementations achieve that in different ways. It happens that yours does it by putting a `cd` command at the start of the job, before your code.
An at job is also executed in the same environment as when the `at` command was called, and with the same umask. AIX implements environment and umask preservation in some other way (I don't know how).
