[CLUE-Tech] batch command and the 'nobody' user

[Ryan Grow]

Thanks for the reply.

Yes - I have gone through the at.allow and at.deny
file configuration. I even tried different setups to
add nobody to the at.deny file, in which case the
batch command fails upon invocation. The problem that
I am having is that the batch command succeeds to
queue up the script, but it is when it attempts to
execute the script at the later time that it fails.
