OPTIONS

25       --until time, -u time
26              When  at(1) should cancel the subscription.  time must be speci‐
27              fied using at's syntax.  Default  is  'now  +  30  days'.   This
28              option will probably require quoting!
29
30       --forever
31              Don't  cancel  the subscription automatically.  This can also be
32              specified as --until forever.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

41       DEBEMAIL, EMAIL
42              If one of these is set (with preference give to DEBEMAIL),  then
43              this  will  be used for the subscription address.  If neither is
44              set, then the email will be sent without a  specified  subscrip‐
45              tion  address, and the email's From: line will be used to deter‐
46              mine the sender's address.  This will be determined by mail(1).
47

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES

49       The two configuration files /etc/devscripts.conf and ~/.devscripts  are
50       sourced  in  that  order  to set configuration variables.  Command line
51       options can be used to override configuration file settings.   Environ‐
52       ment  variable  settings  are  ignored for this purpose.  The currently
53       recognised variables are:
54
55       PTS_UNTIL
56              Setting this is equivalent to giving a --until option.
