##################################################################
- hosts: localhost
tasks:
- ansible.posix.at:
command: date > /tmp/test_at
count: "{{ at_datetime|at_minutes }}"
units: minutes
vars:
at_datetime: "{{ item }}"
loop:
- "2022-12-13 12:09"
- "2022-12-13 12:10"
- "2022-12-13 12:13"

It seems to be a different approach then the one suggested in the PR though (I
can not judge on any of that due to missing python skills).
