[gentoo-user] Which package has at?

I just realized my Gentoo has no 'at'

I searched but couldn't find as google will not consider less than 3 char 
words and equery only works on installed apps. Web interface to portage 
didn't reveal it either.

Where the heck is at at?

I would think it was one of the coreutils...wrongly it seems.

Where you'd expect :)

sys-process/at-3.1.8-r11 (/etc/init.d/atd)
sys-process/at-3.1.8-r11 (/usr/sbin/atd)

though, I admit, "emerge --search at" would probably give too many 
results than useful.

to work a long time ago when the number was small...

$ eix -e at
* sys-process/at
     Available versions:  3.1.8-r11 3.1.8-r12
     Installed:           none
     Homepage:            ftp://jurix.jura.uni-sb.de/pub/jurix/source/chroot/appl/at/
     Description:         Queues jobs for later execution

In this particular case I would recommend app-portage/eix for finding it.
Though not very helpful when you don't know the full path [1] did also show
the same package when searching for /usr/bin/at. That home page is, however,
still in a beta state.

Ha, 

Yea I can be thick sometimes. I never thought to simply try "emerge at". 
Though it makes me wonder why http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=at 
doesn't return it...

Following Neil's advice I will use gentoo-portage.org in the future.

Thanks all,

Thanks for the great tip Bo!

I have many uses for a portage search tool that doesn't require the app to be 
installed to find it. installing eix now...

Many query tools accept basic regular expressions, namely ^ to begin a 
line and $ to end it.

donnie@supernova ~ $ eix ^at$
* sys-process/at
      Available versions:  3.1.8-r11 3.1.8-r12
      Installed:           none
      Homepage: 
ftp://jurix.jura.uni-sb.de/pub/jurix/source/chroot/appl/at/
      Description:         Queues jobs for later execution

This is more generally applicable than the other example of the -e flag.

Thanks,
Donnie
