Question 790
Original unofficial RHEL 10 RHCSA skill-check scenario: A maintenance task is scheduled with `at` but the scheduler daemon is inactive. Which observation best confirms the intended outcome?
Explanation
Correct Answer
In this RHEL 10 system administration case: A maintenance task is scheduled with `at` but the scheduler daemon is inactive. Underlying reason: A queued job requires the scheduling service to run. The most direct, approved resolution is: Enable and start `atd` under approved service policy and verify the queued task. Confirm it by checking: The queued job executes at the intended time and records its outcome. Sustain the fix by: Monitor scheduler status before relying on queued maintenance. This is the INTENDED response for the strongest objective verification result. It is a knowledge-check explanation, not a verified hands-on Red Hat exam answer;
Incorrect Answers
The job reads and writes the intended paths regardless of submission directory. That is not sufficient for the reported RHEL task, because a queued job requires the scheduling service to run.
The effective unit properties reflect the new drop-in and the service starts cleanly. That is not sufficient for the reported RHEL task, because a queued job requires the scheduling service to run.
The service starts and no executable-not-found errors appear. That is not sufficient for the reported RHEL task, because a queued job requires the scheduling service to run.
