No "at" command to schedule task
After installation, when I try to use "at" to schedule a task at later time, but, "command not found", but "man at" is available, can someone tell me what package does "at" belongs to, thank you.

Well, the at is in the homonymous package at :-)

Re: No "at" command to schedule task
Is the at manpage normally available even if the package itself is not installed?

/usr/share/man/man1/at.1p.gz is owned by man-pages 3.25-1

Re: No "at" command to schedule task
Without the at package, the '$> man at' command will open the /usr/share/man/man1/at.1p.gz man page, owned by man-pages package. After install the at package the '$> man at' will open the /usr/share/man/man1/at.1.gz man page, this time owned by at package.

Re: No "at" command to schedule task
IIRC that 'p' in f.e. 'at.1p.gz' means it's a perl package (module?).

Re: No "at" command to schedule task
But I still can't find this package by running "sudo pacman -S homonymous"

Re: No "at" command to schedule task
Why not "sudo pacman -S at" if you wish to install at.

You may also want to read the manual for the daemon: 'man atd'.
