UNIX at job limit reached; how do I restart them?

Hi,

Using SCO UNIX Open Server 5.0.5

I have an appliocation that creates 'at' jobs via the 'batch' command;
they are executed almost immediately.

A few hours ago, they stopped exectuting and teh log file shows
constant updates of the following:

! b queue max run limit reached Wed Feb 16 16:03:45 2005
! rescheduling at job Wed Feb 16 16:03:45 2005

I checked the /usr/spool/cron.atjobs directory and deleted old at jobs
from the queue using the 'at -r' command. However, at jobs are still
not running and the log file shows more of the same.

I restarted the corn daemon and so new at jobs are executing but short
of rebooting, how do I restart the queue for the old jobs still there?

Thanks,
Don
