Dan asks:
> Interesting. Did 'at' and 'cron' suddenly disappear?
 
Probably not...but they don't appear to be part of POSIX, based
on "man cron" on HP-UX :)
 
here's the tail of "man cron":
 ...
 STANDARDS CONFORMANCE
      cron: SVID2, SVID3
 
BTW, since HP-UX is so good at listing the standards conformance
of things, I thought I'd check AIX (on the IBM RS6000) to see what it says
about cron.  ...   It didn't mention any standards.  Ok, does it *ever*
mention standards?  Hmmm...let's try "man ls" on both HP-UX and AIX.
HP-UX mentions the POSIX standard, AIX doesn't, so apparently AIX didn't
bother to document (via man pages) which commands/utilities meet which
standards.
 
However, I did find a reference to HP-UX in an AIX man page..."man ls"
yields:
        ...
 
     BUGS
          On BSD systems, the -s option   reports sizes that are half
          the correct values for files that are NFS-mounted from HP-UX
          systems.  On HP-UX systems, it reports sizes that are twice
          the correct values for files that are NFS-mounted from BSD
          systems.  This is due to a flaw in HP-UX; it also affects
          the HP-UX ls program.
 
P.s.: Dan will have to read this on HP3000-L/comp.sys.hp.mpe, since
his "From" address is still:  ... @bill.pharmcorp.com
and that lacks the apparently standard MX records :)
which means that my "group reply" will bounce on his address.
