Many thanks to the following in helping me out with 'at' command and
feedback on y2k in general. Just for clarification.. my goal is to
prepare couple of 4100s running 4.0B as much Year 2000/Millennium
compliance as possible so my business units can perform their "date
tweaking" y2k testing using oracle, sybase, and other home grown
applications.
Another problem I ran into was difference between korn shells on
Digital UNIX 3.2C and 4.0B
Checkout this:
On Digital UNIX 3.2C /usr/bin/ksh is 136 MB
On Digital UNIX 4.0B /usr/bin/ksh is 132 MB.
Some on my scripts that calls subscripts within the main scripts would
not work with korn shell provided with 4.0B, the temporary workaround
was to copy ksh from 3.2C system.
My recommendation: If you are planning upgrade to 4.0B, save your 3.2C
or 3.2G korn shell --you will need that.
I have logged a call with Digital regarding this problem. I will
update you when I hear from them.
I would like to hear if anyone else ran into this problem.
Thanks,

Digital UNIX V4.0B doesn't claim to be fully Y2K compliant. We are
working very hard to make Digital UNIX V4.0D be fully compliant. We
are about to go into our first field test for V4.0D, with a second
field test kit available around the end of July. The target for
shipping product is this fall.

Digital is not claiming to be Y2K compliant until a release of DU
later this year. A DU version named "Steel" will be released near
December that is supposed to complete the OS change to Y2K compliancy.

As per the manpage.... try:
echo "hi" | at -t 199706180650
Unless specified with an option, 'at' takes the cmd from stdin, not
from the commandline.

If it's of any interest, Digital is planning full y2k compliance for
DUNIX for V4.0C, due out in October of this year.

I would suggest that you use the "at -t" command using a "here" file.
i.e.:
#!/bin/sh
# This command runs at 4:10 AM on Feb 29th of the year 2000 at -t
200002290410 << EOT
echo "hi"
EOT
