How to list all 'at' jobs without root privileges?

For listing jobs added by at and batch I use atq, but it lists only my jobs. I can run atq with root privileges and then it lists jobs from all users.

"This may not be the answer you want, but strictly speaking, you could boot a Live CD and use that to look at the files in /var/spool/at (or equivalent).

The privacy and security provisions of Unix/Linux does not allow you to do what you want. The at files are stored by default with ""other"" read privilege set to off."
