I use at from cronjobs (I can't use cron directly because the cronjob
calculates the time according to sunrise / sunset). I think it's silly
that at always outputs two lines to stderr and that there's no way to
prevent this; I don't need to know the job number and that the script
will be run using /bin/sh, thank you very much; I know that by now.

I've added an option -s for silent that suppresses these two output
lines. Please consider adding this to the official build.

Thanks,
Paul Slootman

Hi,

I was wondering why -s didn't work after upgrading to buster, and
remembered that was a patch I had made myself.

Unfortunately it seems not to have been integrated yet. Here is the
patch updated for 3.1.23.

Please add it. Maybe forward upstream?

Hi,

I notice that my patch again did not make it to an official Debian
release :-(

Attached is the patch updated for 3.2.5.
