It's that wacky "at" command:

I am running Sun O.S. 3.5 on a diskless node.  Occasionally, I rlogin into
the server that I boot from, but when I try to ^D to get back, I get a
directory listing of my top level.  Another ^D gets me another copy of
that listing, etc., etc.  Note that the listing is of the files I used to
have on my top level (i.e. the ls command is showing me old, nonexistent
files.)

Several weeks ago, I was playing with the "at" command (I tried to do an
"ls" at 2pm) and now I have the problem mentioned above.  In order to
logout from the server, I hit ^C before ^D.

Also, /usr/spool/at/past is empty on both the server and my node.

Since I am not a regular reader of this newsgroup, please email any
suggestions to me at ..!rutgers!soleil!grina
