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 $?
