Why does the at command change the umask, etc.

[Bjorn Ivar Stark]

I am running AIX 3.1. on level 3000. I do experience some
problems
both with the at-queue and the default queue for running shell
script:

1. The at command:

   $ umask
   2
   $ at now + 1 min
   umask > at-umask
   Job fosli.666805320.a will be run at Sat Feb 16 16:42:00 1991.
   $ cat at-umask
   022

   In other words the at command resets the umask to 022.
   Why/Where?

2. Using enq -Pbsh

   Let me use a simple shell script test (which just create a file):

   fosli at ASTERIX /u/asterix/a/fosli: more /local/bin/test
   #!/bin/bsh
   echo "dette er et test-skript" > $HOME/test.test
   fosli at ASTERIX /u/asterix/a/fosli: /local/bin/test
   fosli at ASTERIX /u/asterix/a/fosli: ls -l test.test
   -rw-rw-r--   1 fosli    system        24 Feb 07 15:30 test.test
   fosli at ASTERIX /u/asterix/a/fosli: rm test.test

   However by using the default bsh queue provided by IBM i get this
   result:

   fosli at ASTERIX /u/asterix/a/fosli: enq -Pbsh /local/bin/test
   fosli at ASTERIX /u/asterix/a/fosli: ls -l test.test
   -r-----rw-   1 fosli    system        24 Feb 07 15:30 test.test
   How can I get normal protection?

Anyone?
