Puppet users - Aug 2011 - creating a puppet resource from existing cron

Is there a "puppetized" way for puppet to create a resource file from
an existing crontab?

Here''s an example of what has worked for me:

$ crontab -l
* * * * * date > /tmp/date.log

$ ralsh cron
Could not run: You must specify a name or title for resources

$ crontab -l | awk ''!/^ *#/ {print "# Puppet Name: item-" NR
; print }
'' | crontab

$ crontab -l
# Puppet Name: item-1
* * * * * date > /tmp/date.txt

$ ralsh cron
cron { ''item-1'':
    user => ''foobar'',
    command => ''date > /tmp/date.txt'',
    ensure => ''present'',
    target => ''foobar''
}

$ puppet -V
0.25.4

$ cat /etc/issue.net
Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS
