Should this work? # --- remove any cronjobs that are not managed by puppet. resources { "cron": purge => true } I get the following error. Resources[cron]: Failed to generate additional resources: You must specify a title for objects of type Puppet::Type::Cron Ben

I''m not sure if this has been posted previously, but I couldn''t find any information on it. I added a cron job via the cron type and it installed properly. Next, I removed the cron type from the manifest. The result was that, while the entry was no longer in the yaml file, the cron entry was not removed! Is this a bug, or the way that it is supposed to function? Thank you,

I dont know if i am missleaded but it seems to me that the cron type does not accept names with a ''.'' in it ? I tried to add a cron with a name cron1-$domainename and it does not accept it. If i remove the ''.'' in the domain it work. I am using .22.3 anyone seeing the same behavior ? If yes i will fill it as a bug. -- Cordialement, Ghislain ADNET. AQUEOS.

Hi, I just configured SquidAnalyzer, a nifty little network statistics tool that I'm using mainly in school networks to monitor network usage. I want to run the '/usr/bin/squid-analyzer' script once a day. I took a peek in /etc/cron.daily, and the package already installed an /etc/cron.daily/0squidanalyzer script. I wanted to know at what time CentOS ran the cron.daily scripts,

Hi, Samba-AD-DC is working great for us here. All integration working as expected. However one small issue. We attempted to use "samba_backup" script to backup the configuration data. It works fine. However, when we set it as a cronjob, the cron triggers at the given time during the day, but the samba_backup script fails to execute. No logs either. All other cronjobs, like rsync

This might be a bit OT, but I've never had to do this before and what I've googled doesn't seem to be working. I have an ansible playbook that I'm working on that I want to run as a cronjob.? One task I'm having trouble with is where I have a text file with lines like: rd.pl "blah blah" rd.pl "blah blah blah" This text file has to be 'executed'

I''m looking for some ideas about how to learn how to use puppet. One of my main concerns is dorking up the machine I''m testing it on. For this I''m using a VM. So that concern is mainly taken care of. If some of you experienced puppet users where going to do it all over, what parts would you try to learn first? I have successfully been able to get a cronjob added

Buenas, Voy a dejar un programa en produccion en un servidor, el cual tiene que ejecutarse cada minuto, y si se reinicia el servidor o lo uqe sea, que se ponga a trabajar directamete. ?R server permite hacer eso, o tengo que generar un script que se ejecute desde un cronjob del servidor? Desde mi ignorancia, considero que la segunda opcion es la m?s robusta frente a fallos. Un saludo Jes?s

I''ve been using puppet for a while but I just recently decided to start using it to manage crontabs. It works great but puppet is reporting (and being very noisy about it) every time it does a run even when there is nothing in the actual crontab to change. I think this is happening because I''m setting defaults for the Cron type, which I should be able to do. Right? eg: Cron {

I have a cronjob that runs "ruby script/runner ''Channel.preload''". Channel is a parent model, Item is the child model (i.e., Channel has_many :items and Item belongs_to :channel). The coupling is minimized, the coherence looks good, but I''m not sure the model is the right place to put this code. Is there a better place to put this code, e.g., a component (I

Hello, I have two identical CentOS 6.2 machines with stock Postfix package and unchanged config: # rpm -qa|grep post postfix-2.6.6-2.2.el6_1.x86_64 # postconf -n alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix data_directory = /var/lib/postfix debug_peer_level = 2

Hello, i have a certain issue at hand that i'm trying to solve. there's a certain command that i need to execute 10 minutes after boot. how can i set that? im not very expert with cron jobs but can it be done that way? i know that cronjob works on specified time but how can i set it to run with '10 min after startup" as a condition ?

Hi all, Who takes care of cronjob in /etc/cron.d ? Should we tell crond to run it? /etc/crontab only mentions hourly, daily, weekly, monthly -- Thanks Fajar

(I know more questions... :-)) I know the default for puppetd is to check puppetmasterd every half hour, but my question does each puppetd check at the same time? Or does it depend when puppetd is started or like a cronjob does it run at the 1/2 hour and hour mark? Is there some randomness to the times they run? My point is if they all run at the same time then if you have a large amount of

Dear Marc, Thanks for your feedback! 1. I store it in MySQL. 2. I will add a cronjob to run Solr if I can figure out why its not working on test runs. Maybe I might try to setup a cronjob for solr to avoid having to manually start it everytime. 3. Will turn on the mail_debug in dovecot.conf . Where will it log the problems?

hello list, I am attempting to backup a centos 5.4 (x86_64) server running mysql with a cron job. Here's how the cron job looks: [root at cloud:/home/bluethundr/backupdb] #crontab -l * 3 * * * /usr/bin/mysqldump jfwiki > /home/bluethundr/backupdb/wiki-$(date +%Y%m%d).sql However if I run the command from the command line it seems to work fine. If I grep syslog for cron this is what

Hi, I have a cronjob that executes a script that has some echo statements in it and the commands in it also generate output (it copies files, reloads services, etc...). Recently, cron stopped sending its output by e-mail. I restarted cron, without success. Any ideas where I shoud start to debug this? Regards, Ugo

I was attempting to set up some cron jobs via puppet. I was trying to get cron to mail the output of the cron jobs to a specific user, so I was attempting to set MAILTO=user@example.com, via the environment => specifier. Puppet did as it was told. Unfortunately, I guess that Solaris 10 does not support setting of environment variables in crontab files (directly), so when puppet attempted to

Hi All, How does one create a cron job that runs commands like: /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=xxx.com -update /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=yyy.com -update Say every 15 mins? -Jason
