Each of these commands depend on the execution of atrun(8) which has been dis- abled due to power management concerns. Those who would like to use these commands, must first (as root) re-enable atrun by running: launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.atrun.plist; 7 of 7 people found this comment helpful.
