Re: command at ?
make sure you run "pacman -Sy" first, to refresh you package database.

Re: command at ?
Out of curiosity, why would you want to use at when you can use cron?
Just wondering...

Re: command at ?
at or cron - why use at ?
for myself i tend to use cron for regular repeated tasks, and at for a one off job from the command line / stdin.
ie Why use a shopping list for a one off purchase?
