I've started the atrun daemon using the following command.

$ sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.atrun.plist

Added my username to /var/at/at.allow file.

$ cat /var/at/at.allow
myusername

And created a job using at command.

$ at now + 1 minute
touch /tmp/x.log
^D
job 1 at Fri Jan  1 09:56:00 2021

I can see the job scheduled using atq command.

But I can't see the file /tmp/x.log created after the scheduled time. Is there anything I'm missing here or is there a way to debug this issue?

After checking the logs in /var/log/system.log file, I found that atrun service was failing with exit code 1.

Jan  3 23:29:47 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.apple.atrun[37853]): Service exited with abnormal code: 1

I had to provide full disk access to /usr/libexec/atrun daemon as mentioned here, to make the daemon run without errors.
