Issue #4528 has been updated by James Turnbull. Target version set to 2.6.1
---------------------------------------- Bug #4528: cron gets updates everytime if wildcard is set http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4528 Author: Peter Meier Status: Ready for Testing Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: cron Target version: 2.6.1 Affected version: 2.6.1rc2 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. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
