I have two cron entries that I would like put onto a machine. But
puppet seems to only allow one at a time. The entries are as
follows.
cron { foo_sync:
command => "/usr/local/sbin/svnsync",
user => root,
environment => ["ROOT=/scratch", "NAME=foo",
"MAILTO=shenson@redhat.com"],
minute => 0,
}
cron { bar_sync:
command => "/usr/local/sbin/svnsync",
user => root,
environment => ["ROOT=/scratch", "NAME=bar",
"MAILTO=shenson@redhat.com"],
minute => 0,
}
In the logs I get the following.
notice: //www::websync/Cron[foo_sync]/environment: environment changed
''ROOT=/scratch,NAME=bar,MAILTO=shenson@redhat.com'' to
''ROOT=/
scratch,NAME=foo,MAILTO=shenson@redhat.com''
The actual cron entry looks like:
[root@websync ~]# crontab -l
# HEADER: This file was autogenerated at Fri Jun 13 10:05:49 -0400
2008 by puppet.
# HEADER: While it can still be managed manually, it is definitely not
recommended.
# HEADER: Note particularly that the comments starting with ''Puppet
Name'' should
# HEADER: not be deleted, as doing so could cause duplicate cron jobs.
# Puppet Name: foo_sync
ROOT=/scratch
NAME=foo
MAILTO=shenson@redhat.com
I am wondering if this is expected behavior or a bug? Thanks.

Thanks.This a "feature". If Puppet sees a cron job identical to the one it is told to mange, it takes control of the existing entry instead of writing a new. In this case it see two identical entrys and it is in charge of one already so it does nothing. See http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/TypeReference#cron.

The manpage didn''t appear to say, but all their examples show only one entry of each type. But I''d bet the following would work more to your liking: Cron { # See LanguageTutorial#resource-defaults environment => [ "ROOT=/scratch", MAILTO="shenson@redhat.com" ] } cron { foo_sync: command => "NAME=foo /usr/local/sbin/svnsync", user => root, minute => 0, } cron { bar_sync: command => "NAME=bar /usr/local/sbin/svnsync", user => root, minute => 0, } -- Mike Renfro / R&D Engineer, Center for Manufacturing Research, 931 372-3601 / Tennessee Technological University --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
