the at command ( type "man at" to read its manual) when you run it
like in your image accepts commands that will be run as shell
commands.  You have to type control-d to indicate end of input:

    $ at 5am jan 1, 2008
    warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh
    at> play time_to_get_up.mp3
    at> <EOT>
    job 90 at Tue Jan  1 05:00:00 2008

That "<EOT>" was printed right after I typed control-d.

But if you want it to happen every morning why are you using at
instead of cron?


BTW -- You can't cut-n-paste from the terminal -- don't need a screen shot.
