I have been trying to accomplish a simple scheduled task in Solaris 11 with the use of the at command.

Example:

$> kill $(ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep truss | awk '{print $2}') | at now + 1 minute; truss -fp 1706 &

Anyone have any insight?

    At wants a command line as input; you've provided the output of kill (which is likely an empty string) as its input. You can probably do something much simpler, like (sleep 60; pkill truss)&

  • That is much more elegant. Thanks. I never use pkill.

I think you should instead have a look at the timeout command.
