One-time scheduled task

Use at for one-time jobs:

echo "echo 'Meeting reminder' >> /tmp/opc-reminders.log" | at 14:30

Or schedule with a specific date:

echo "echo 'Deadline reminder' >> /tmp/opc-reminders.log" | at 10:00 2026-03-20

Remove a job

Edit the crontab directly:

crontab -e

Or filter out a specific job:

crontab -l | grep -v 'pattern-to-remove' | crontab -

Notes

  • Use full paths in cron commands (cron has a minimal $PATH).
  • Redirect output to a log file or /dev/null to avoid mail noise.
  • Check at availability: which at (install with apt install at if missing).
