Bug #2798: Crontab does not work in AIX
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2798
Author: Andrew Forgue
Status: Needs design decision
Priority: Normal
Assigned to:
Category: cron
Target version: 0.25.2
Affected version: 0.25.1
Keywords: cron, aix
Branch:
Puppet's crontab support does not work in AIX.
Running crontab rules under AIX results in:
<pre>
crontab: cannot access
</pre>
This occurs when the crontab file is being flushed. The AIX crontab binary
does not permit reading from "-" (just like Solaris). The attached patch will
make the cron type work on AIX.
This defines a new "aixtab" crontab in provder/cron/cron.rb. And adds an entry
to util/filetype.rb for aixtab to recognize proper output messages (which are
different than Solaris, of course).
