What's the difference between running a bash script via cron and running the script via atd?

Is there any difference? Is it specific to the distro? If so, what about SLES 11?

There may be some distro-specific differences, but the largest difference I've found is that cron scripts do not have any sort of default environment settings, while at scripts do. This may be the result of my never using at to schedule a job for after I've logged out, however, so take it with a grain of salt.
