Retrieve more info about jobs when using 'at' adaptor
Currently the at
adaptor returns very little info once a job has finished. Even getting the correct state or exit code is hard (see #683).
We could get a bit more information about the job by using an external tool such as '/bin/time
like so:
/bin/time -v xenon filesystem file list /home/jason > out
Command being timed: "xenon filesystem file list /home/jason"
User time (seconds): 1.15
System time (seconds): 0.05
Percent of CPU this job got: 259%
Elapsed (wall clock) time (h:mm:ss or m:ss): 0:00.46

Time provides information on resource usage, as well as the exit code, but only once the application has finished. We could use this to write a /tmp/xenon.at.finished.#ID
file which the at adaptor can use to get information about finished jobs.
