Info

I can do something like this:

- shell: |
        for run in {1..10};
        do
           sleep 10
           curl -u healthcheck:healthcheck --max-time 10 -sSL -k https://localhost:8089/services/server/health | grep -q "<s:key name=\"health\">green</s:key>"
        done
    args:
      executable: /bin/bash
  async: 45
  poll: 0
  register: healthcheck

, but its not an ansible native way.
