[SOLVED] Where is 'at' command in repository?

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 execution

SYNOPSIS
       at [-V] [-q queue] [-f file] [-mldbv] TIME
       at -c job [job...]
       atq [-V] [-q queue]
       atrm [-V] job [job...]
       batch

DESCRIPTION
       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.
