The way to go if you want to indent your "here document" is to use the
hyphen (-) as this:
if [ `/bin/true` ]; then
at -s now + ${NEW_TIME} minute <<-EOF
table.test 2>&1 | mail kopp
EOF
fi
The hyphen tells the bourne shell not to bother about the heading tab
at the end of the here document.
By the way, why are you trying to use at recursively? Why not run the
script as a cron job and just terminate without doing anything in those
cases that your "certain condition" turns out to be false? Seems a lot
easier to mee :-)
