[SLUG] `at' behaving strangely.

[Nick Croft <nicko@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi slug*,
 
actually `not behaving at all' might have been more accurate.

I desperately need to use `at'. I've got woody happening here.
If for instance I need to switch off the ppp connection half an hour after
I leave work, I think I should be able to do

	debian:~# at now + 30 minutes poff

When I try, however, `at' just wants to tell me that I'm not on
UTC. (Both the hardware and the system clock are on local time).

eg:

	debian:~#m at now + 30 minutes poff
	parse error. Last token seen: poff
	Garbled time

or

	debian:~# at 21:55 man at
	Only UTC timezone is supported. Last token seen: man
	Garbled time

I've googled stuff on clocks. Can't find anything specific to my
problem. So I'm appealing to the ultimate group for a pointer.

Nick
