I have created a job with the at command on Solaris 10.

It's working now but I want to kill it but I don't know how I can find the job number and how to kill that job or process.

You should be able to find your command with a ps variant like:

ps -ef
ps -fubob # if your job's user ID is bob.

Then, once located, it should be a simple matter to use kill to kill the process (permissions permitting).

If you're talking about getting rid of jobs in the at queue (that aren't running yet), you can use atq to list them and atrm to get rid of them.
