Issue #4528 has been updated by Alan Barrett.
Affected Puppet version deleted (2.6.1rc2)
Workaround for puppet-0.25: Use "absent" (no quotes) as a magic value to tell
puppet that you actually want "*" in the relevant field, like this:
<pre>
cron{'gpg_crontab':
command => '/usr/bin/gpg --refresh-keys > /dev/null 2>&1',
minute => 0,
hour => 12,
month => absent,
}
</pre>

Bug #4528: cron gets updates everytime if wildcard is set
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4528
Author: Peter Meier
Status: Closed
Priority: Normal
Assignee:
Category: cron
Target version: 2.6.1
Affected Puppet version:
Keywords:
Branch: http://github.com/duritong/puppet/tree/ticket/2.6.x/4528
The following cronjob:
<pre>
cron{'gpg_crontab':
command => '/usr/bin/gpg --refresh-keys > /dev/null 2>&1',
minute => 0,
hour => 12,
month => '*',
}
</pre>
Triggers a crontab update on every run:
<pre>
$ puppet foo.pp
notice: /Stage[main]//Cron[gpg_crontab]/month: defined 'month' as '*'
$ puppet foo.pp
notice: /Stage[main]//Cron[gpg_crontab]/month: defined 'month' as '*'
</pre>
puppet should not detect this as a change.
Why anyway defining '*'? There are 2 reasons:
1. unset a previously set weekday, as we want the cronjob now to run everytime.
2. I have manifests
(http://git.puppet.immerda.ch/?p=module-puppet.git;a=blob;f=manifests/cron/openbsd.pp;h=bca3dc68104834da15fbd8237eeab7ecb1ff102b;hb=9f83acbda5baf8bda129ddddcbe7e8114d5b7b87)
that generate the invidual cron time paramateres from a string, so users can
define something like @$puppet_crontime = '0,30 * * * *'@ which will then
converted into cron resource time parameters.
