Puppet users - Jun 2007 - Cron not taking valid entries?

I changed one of my cron entries in puppet from:

        cron { nightly_restart:
                command => "/etc/init.d/something restart >&
/dev/null",
                user => root,
                minute => "0",
                hour => "13",
                monthday => "*",
                month => "*",
                weekday => "*",
        }

to:
        cron { nightly_restart:
                command => "/etc/init.d/something restart >&
/dev/null",
                user => root,
                minute => "0",
                hour => "7,18",
                monthday => "*",
                month => "*",
                weekday => "*",
        }


And I get this in the logs..


err: Could not create nightly_restart: Parameter hour failed: 7,18 is not a
valid hour at /etc/puppet/manifests/classes/something.pp:13
err: Parameter hour failed: 7,18 is not a valid hour at
/etc/puppet/manifests/classes/something.pp:13

Correct me if I am wrong but the man pages for cron say you can specify
commas or even hyphens for a range of time to make a cron run ie:

* 12 1-15,17,20-25 * * root cmd

* 12 10,12,14,16 * * root backup.sh

*/15 9-17 * * * root connection.test


Any ideas?

Use an array:

hour => [7,18]
