Hi, I had a cronjob with: weekday => [''1-5''], and wanted to revert back to the default (*). Simply leaving out the weekday line did not activate the default. The currently existing cronjob was not changed. I expected that leaving off any periodic field means replacing it with *. The ''Type Reference'' in the wiki doesn''t tell anything about the default handling. I managed it with: weekday => [''0-6''], no big deal, but I would prefer by design a definition like: if I don''t specify any of these parameter, the default * is assumed.

Hi,
Puppet does what you tell it to do, it usually doesnt have defaults.
if you want a default for any resource type, you should specify it, for
example, if you don''t want repeating yourself for all of your services
you
can do something like this (in a top level class declaration)
Service {enable => true, ensure => running, hasstatus => true }
the same can be done for cron..
cheers,
Ohad

Is there any doc about the different meanins concerning the case of the first character: file - File service - Service Is there a difference and when do I have to use what?
