/var/spool/cron/.proto
/var/spool/cron/.proto.queue
When a job is submitted to at or batch, (see at.1 the job is constructed as a shell script. First, a prologue is constructed, consisting of:
at then reads a ``prototype file,'' and constructs the rest of the job file from it.
Text from the prototype file is copied to the job file, except for special ``variables'' that are replaced by other text:
If the job is submitted in queue queue, at uses the file /var/spool/cron/.proto.queue as the prototype file if it exists, otherwise it will use the file /var/spool/cron/.proto.
# # @(#)proto.5 1.4 90/02/15 SMI; from S5R3 1.1 # cd $d umask $m $<
which causes commands to change the current directory in the job to the current directory at the time at was run, and to change the umask in the job to the umask at the time at was run, to be inserted before the commands in the job.
