| This suggests that this works, but that the shell somehow
| doesn't let its 'not found' message be redirected :-(

| How about
| 
| at_times=:
| (times) >dev/null 2>&1 && at_times=times
| echo at_times=$at_times
| $at_times >at-times
| echo $?  
| 
| or
| 
| at_times=times
| (times) >dev/null 2>&1 || at_times=:
| echo at_times=$at_times
| $at_times >at-times
| echo $?

I like the former more.  Would you install it please?
lib/autotest/general.m4.  TIA.
