It's processed in rpcclient. It asks the server for the current time,
adds SOON_OFFSET seconds and schedules it then. See the at_soon function
in rpcclient/cmd_atsvc.c.

You may need to increase SOON_OFFSET (defined just above at_soon). Then
again, if you look at the code you'll see I'm not actually wrapping the
seconds into the minutes properly, so that could be a problem too.

Do you have the reskit handy? I'd be very interested to know exactly how
the "soon" utility works. I'll have to check that out sometime.
