I use "at" to set future actions set by users on RHEL6.4. The command I use from php is
exec("echo \"php $script_path\" | at $run_time");
where the script path is set in the same way as the runtime. This works at 100% penalty on startup from a shell initiated with php -a. When it starts from the web server, the task is created, but it does not seem to start.
I checked: the apache user has full read-write-execute access to the directory and all folders in it.
The exec command (at the end the entire task is created).
I checked the job is looking for the correct path on the server.
I'm not sure what else I can do to get the command to run the script correctly. Any suggestions?
Thank you for your help.
Update: I went ahead and created a page related to the script. I am trying to automatically start and run it this way. The script itself works great when run as apache in this way, which means definitely what "at" does. I checked print_r ($ _ ENV) to determine which environment variables to use. The only thing that appears is number 1.
Update 2: I ran at -c on every job that never started, and one that works fine. There seems to be a lot more content on the one that runs VS, which doesn't work. 65 worked (ran from the shell)

I don’t know if you guys can get more out of this than I do, but I decided that it won’t stop the audience from seeing.
