Description Forgotten User PQKW3NFi6R 2011-03-18 09:31:34 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E)

after starting atd on a i686 system with openSUSE 11.4 i found the timespec "now" not working as expected:

# echo "date" | now + 1 minute
job 1 at 2011-03-18 10:01

# echo "date" | now
job 2 at 2011-03-19 10:01


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. login as root
2. rcatd start
3. echo "echo Now or tomorrow..." | at now
4. echo "echo Now or tomorrow..." | at now + 1 minute
Actual Results:  
echo "echo something" | at now
job 1 at 2011-03-19 10:01
echo "echo something" | at now + 1 minute
job 2 at 2011-03-18 10:01

Expected Results:  
"now" should execute immediately not tomorrow
