- This is a very unimportant question I've always's wondered about.
- When using the at or batch commands, some seemingly random number
- is assigned to the job. At first I thought it might be be the PID of
- a process but apparently not. So, where does this number come from?
- Like a said, a useless piece of trivia.

- Thanks
