Seems that 'at' mails you the stdout from the process, if nothing is shown there try appending 2>&1 to the end of the command you are giving to 'at' to see if stderr has any better diagnostic. Maybe also the result of echo $PATH, echo $DISPLAY and so on from inside the 'at' execution environment might help point the way. -Andy
