It would be helpful in some cases to have the actual command given to batch/at
in the usual job completion mail as well as the output generated from the
command itself. Perhaps user chooseable with ~/.atrc and/or cmdline-switch?

(Inspired from the most interesting SBMJOB from OS/400 whose output is very
verbose.)

Hi,

I plan to get at sending the command in case there are errors soon.
Do you think there are other cases in which the actual command would be
useful?

Hi Ansgar,

Sorry, I didn't check 244533 before submitting since from the subject
it wasn't clear to me what the submitter meant.

Thanks for taking care for at!

 From my point of view, this is often the case. For example when the
job will run some time in the future and the user forgot what command
led to the output.

That's why I suggest to make this behaviour an option for the
submission. Perhaps it would be better to have that as atd-option?

Another thingie on my wishlist would be to have at -c show an
uncluttered version of the actual command submitted, without env and
dir-exists-check.

Then I guess an option at time of submission is the way to go.

I plan to move the environmental variables and some other information to
a separate file to enable use of other shells as well.  That should take
care of your wish as well.
