SUMMARY
This RFE is to have a chdir parameter, similar to what's currently available for the shell module, added to the at module.
When using at with the ansible-pull and the --purge option the job will fail since the execution directory is being removed.
As a workaround, the at job can be scheduled using the shell module.

The first mail was from the at task (run logger in 2 minutes) showing "Execution directory inaccessible". The second mail log is from the shell task (testing with shell mod, runs date in 2 min) running /bin/date with at.
