[SOLVED]Can't find 'at' command

I can't find the 'at' command. for some reason I have the man page installed but not the command itself. Not sure if I explicitly need to install a package if I do I'd welcome pointers to which package that is.

I'm trying to suspend my laptop after completing downloads and was planning to use the at command  to run pm-suspend command at a later time. if there is an alternate way to accomplish this please let me know.

thanks for reading this.

You will need to install it "pacman -S at".

If in doubt, install pkgtools and run pkgfile to check which package has the file you need:

[karol@black ~]$ pkgfile -b at
extra/at
[karol@black ~]$ pkgfile mkfs.vfat
extra/dosfstools
