OK, here's my 'at' shell for mailing in Arena turns.  Please note that the
pathnames will have to be changed for your directory setup.  Also, it uses
'csh', but that could be changed to just 'sh' by removing the ">& /dev/null"
text, changing "#!csh" to "#!sh", and changing the "-c" in the last line
to a "-s".  To start this shell, either run it ("csh <arena.sh") at the
time you want it to execute each hour, or start an 'at' job to run it at the
appropriate time.  So, does anyone know how to get the 'at' command to stop
mailing you that it's executed your job?

#!csh
mail -s Arena arena@sun-dimas.aero.org </usr6/koziol/Arena/mephisto.turn >& /dev/null
mail -s Arena arena@sun-dimas.aero.org </usr6/koziol/Arena/whistle.turn >& /dev/null
mail -s Arena arena@sun-dimas.aero.org </usr6/koziol/Arena/joe.turn >& /dev/null
at -c now + 1 hour /usr6/koziol/Arena/arena.sh >& /dev/null
