    I want to run a script that requires three input parameters using 'at(1)'

    I have tried:

    at -f <script name> <param1> <param2> <param3> now

    and

    at now < <script name> <param1> <param2> <param3>

    and both give me a "bad time specification" error.

    It works fine in cron but I want to be able to have a user run it as needed.

    cron entry looks like

    00 18 * * 0 <script> <param1> <param2> <param3>
     

    What I would like to know, after all that, is how do I get 'at' to work with scripts that require input parameters?

    Thanks
