atq: Show jobs from queue named 'a' (queues have single-character names).
$ atq -q ${a}
try on your machine
The command "atq -q ${a}" is used to display the list of pending "at" jobs (scheduled tasks) for a specific queue. Let's break down the command:
- "atq" is a command-line utility that is used to display the list of pending "at" jobs.
- "-q" is an option for the "atq" command that allows you to specify a queue.
- "${a}" is a variable that represents the queue name. The value of the variable "a" would be provided when running the command.
So, essentially, the command "atq -q ${a}" is displaying the list of pending "at" jobs for the specified queue, where the queue name is represented by the variable "a".
