Where does `at` redirect its output?
I tried to use at
me@host:~$ echo ls | at now +1 minutes
warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh
job 3 at Fri Mar 15 20:58:00 2019
I wait more than 5 minutes but did not see any outputs.
Where does 'at` redirect its output? Can I direct it to the terminal?
cron

From man at:
The user will be mailed standard error and standard
output from his commands, if any. Mail will be sent using the command
/usr/sbin/sendmail.
The same as for cron, if you don't have a configured mail transfer agent (MTA) running on your system, the output will simply get discarded - if you look in the syslog you will likely see an error something like
atd[28729]: Exec failed for mail command: No such file or directory
