Hi

AFAIK Cron module checks only those crons which starts with #Ansible. From 
docs:

- 'The module includes one line with the description of the crontab entry 
C("#Ansible: <name>")
    corresponding to the "name" passed to the module, which is used by future 
ansible/module calls
    to find/check the state.'


I agree that this is not the best way to manage crons. Perhaps this module 
should be re-written and should use something like 
python-crontab https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-crontab
