Hello,
i am using puppet 0.25.4 at debian lenny and i have got a question about
the cron type. If i use something like that, the cron will be stored at
"/etc/cron.daily/get-selections".
cron { "get-slections":
command => "/usr/bin/dpkg --get-selections >
/var/backups/get-selections.log",
user => root,
minute => 0,
}
But if i use an explicit hour, the cron will be stored at
"/var/spool/cron/crontabs/root" instead of
"/etc/cron.d/get-selections".
cron { "get-slections":
command => "/usr/bin/dpkg --get-selections >
/var/backups/get-selections.log",
user => root,
hour => 8,
minute => 0,
}
Of course i could use the file type to ship my cron jobs, but that makes
no sense to me. Any hints?
Regards, Dennis

Any hints?to understand your question: You want that crons without an hour and minute to 0 should be placed in cron.hourly while everything else should go into crontab? Then cron-Type manages the crontab of a user, while others should be rather managed by file resources. You could tweak the cron provider to achieve what you like to do. However: Why do you want such a behavior? cheers pete -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkxkOEYACgkQbwltcAfKi39DnQCgoDuzF2hBoGB+HbZisCikfDBt nKMAni96oO7LnsiF6vSleV9QC5xH1vG6 =jDP/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

You could tweak the cron provider to > achieve what you like to do. However: Why do you want such a behavior?seems that i am a little bit confused. I have no idea where the file at "/etc/cron*" was comming from. All my actual tests will lead to an cron at "/var/spool/cron/crontabs/root". Nevertheless, i prefer crons at "/etc/cron*" via the file type. Thx and have a nice evening. Regards, Dennis
