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.

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

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.

IIRC that 'p' in f.e. 'at.1p.gz' means it's a perl package (module?).

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'.
