at command: Garbled time

Question

I am not able to run at command.

edward@ArchLinux:~$ at
Garbled time

what is wrong? Am I running it wrong?

The same error appears when I try to list all at current jobs. For it is better to use atq command or at -l. My answer comes from using at without options in Windows systems. Sorry, if I misunderstood context or intention of the question — Tom Newton

A timestamp (as recognized by at, see the fine manual) must be given:

bash-4.1$ echo echo hi | at teatime
job 5 at 2016-02-02 16:00
bash-4.1$
