I would like to execute 'at' command in console, but when I type 'at', it shows command not found. I tried to find 'at' via pacman, but lots of things showed and I could not find which one is what I need. Does someone know which package contains 'at' command? Thanks a lot.:)

What is this 'at' command of which you speak?
Are you looking for the functionality of the Windows 'at' command? If so, I suggest you look into 'cron'.

From man at:
NAME
at, batch, atq, atrm - queue, examine or delete jobs for later executionSYNOPSIS
at [-V] [-q queue] [-f file] [-mldbv] TIME
at -c job [job...]
atq [-V] [-q queue]
atrm [-V] job [job...]
batchDESCRIPTION
at and batch read commands from standard input or a specified file which are
to be executed at a later time, using /bin/sh.at executes commands at a specified time.
atq lists the user's pending jobs, unless the user is the superuser; in
that case, everybody's jobs are listed. The format of the output
lines (one for each job) is: Job number, date, hour, queue, and user‐
name.atrm deletes jobs, identified by their job number.
batch executes commands when system load levels permit; in other words, when
the load average drops below 0.8, or the value specified in the invo‐
cation of atd.
Very useful. I need it everyday.
