DSXchange

Trying to schedule a one time run on Linux RHEL 5.7 in DS 8.5.
Searched DSXchange and asked admin to give dsadm permissions to write to atjobs directory, and he goes "what atjobs directory?"
I do not have a /usr/spool/cron, but I do have a /var/spool/cron which has the OS level user dsadm in it. But I do not see a atjobs directory under cron. Is this something I will need to add? If yes, do I then add dsadm to the new atjobs directory?
Or should I go looking for the cron.allow and at.allow as suggested in other posts?

Thanks!

Yes.

I am still looking to see if I can find the cron.allow and at.allow directories.
But I did find a /var/spool/at directory and asked my admin to give write permissions to dsadm to this. Not sure if this is the right directory, its basically at the same level as the cron is.

You shouldn't have to find anything, just ask your admin to ensure your scheduling user is setup correctly.

Once I explained to my admin what I was trying to do, he set me up in the at.allow and its all good now.

Thanks Craig!
