I'm not sure if this kind of datetime conversion belongs to POSIX.

To learn about collections see https://github.com/ansible-collections

For example, Ansible.Posix, where the module ansible.posix.at comes
from, is "Ansible Collection targeting POSIX and POSIX-ish platforms."

honestly, I am still not really 100% sure what the term 'collection' actually 
means in the Ansible context and how things are organized. The issue, however, 
lives in ansible-collection/ansible.posix. Isn't that hint enough?

Yes, it's worth PR. I'll write tests for this. The question is which

That works! Even with looping

##
- 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"
##

would it be worth a PR on the issue or is this too quick'n'dirty? 

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).

Yes, it's rather awkward. I simplified the declaration of
*at_seconds*. It might be a good idea to have a conversion function
for this, e.g.


- ansible.posix.at:
command: date > /tmp/test_at
count: "{{ at_datetime|at_minutes }}"
units: minutes
  vars:
at_datetime: "2022-12-12 17:30:00"
  

Try

shell> cat plugins/filter/at_minutes.py
from datetime import datetime


def at_minutes(at_datetime):
timesince = datetime.fromisoformat(at_datetime) - datetime.now()
return int(timesince.total_seconds() / 60 + 1)


class FilterModule(object):

def filters(self):
return {
'at_minutes': at_minutes,
}

thx that really works. It is not really user-friendly though.

Apparently I am not the only one thinking this should be easier, so there is an 
issue for adding a more intuitive way to specify time and date

For example, to schedule a command at "2022-12-12 17:30:00" declare
the variables

now_datetime: "{{ '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'|strftime }}"
at_datetime: "2022-12-12 17:30:00"
at_seconds: "{{ ((at_datetime|to_datetime) -
 (now_datetime|
  to_datetime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'))).seconds }}"
at_minutes: "{{ (at_seconds|int / 60)|int + 1 }}"

gives

now_datetime: 2022-12-12 17:26:23
at_datetime: 2022-12-12 17:30:00
at_seconds: 217
at_minutes: 4

Use the variable *at_minutes*

- ansible.posix.at:
command: date > /tmp/test_at
count: "{{ at_minutes }}"
units: minutes
- command: at -l
  register: out
- debug:
var: out.stdout

will display the queue

  out.stdout: "5\tMon Dec 12 17:30:00 2022 a admin"

The command executed as expected

shell> cat /tmp/test_at 
Mon 12 Dec 2022 05:30:00 PM CET

Example of a complete playbook for testing

- hosts: localhost

  vars:

now_datetime: "{{ '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'|strftime }}"
at_datetime: "2022-12-12 17:30:00"
at_seconds: "{{ ((at_datetime|to_datetime) -
 (now_datetime|
  to_datetime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'))).seconds }}"
at_minutes: "{{ (at_seconds|int /

2022-12-12 Thread Andrew Latham

So you are using ansible.posix.at?

That plugin uses a file to run AT as seen at
https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.posix/blob/main/plugins/modules/at.py#L82

So in the code it uses the ```now +``` method. This may be a situation
where a command/shell call would be the solution.

[ansible-project] at - specific time & date

I want to automate a list of command exections with at.

Looking at the at modules documentation I see only unit & count for specify the 
time and date. That looks a litte unprecise to me. 

What is the concepts here to specify something like '16:00 2023-01-19'?
