Hi. We have a DECsystem 3100 running Ultrix 3.1 (Rev. 14), and
I've run into a problem with at, atrun, and batch.

The atrun command is set up within /etc/crontab to be run every
5 minutes. Perusing the accounting with the 'lastcomm' command
shows that atrun is indeed being run every 5 minutes.

Jobs submitted via the batch command do not appear to be getting
released.  Load average on this machine almost =never= exceeds
something like "load average: 1.05, 0.80, 0.20" or something like
that, and is often something like "0.06, 0.00, 0.00". And =still=
jobs submitted via 'batch' are not getting released.

Does this sound familiar to anyone out there? Patches? Bug fixes?

Thanks in advance.
