Bug #6893: Document the cron type in the case of specials.
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6893
Author: Ben Hughes
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Ben Hughes
Category: documentation
Target version:
Affected Puppet version:
Keywords: cron
Branch:
The cron type has only the following as it's documentation:
<cite>SPECIAL
Special schedules"</cite>
Which is a little sparse and unhelpful to users trying to use the cron
provider.
Also it doesn't say what the platform limitations are for this.
>From crontab(5):
<pre>
Instead of the first five fields, one of eight special strings may appear:
string meaning
------ -------
@reboot Run once, at startup.
@yearly Run once a year, "0 0 1 1 *".
@annually (same as @yearly)
@monthly Run once a month, "0 0 1 * *".
@weekly Run once a week, "0 0 * * 0".
@daily Run once a day, "0 0 * * *".
@midnight (same as @daily)
@hourly Run once an hour, "0 * * * *".
</pre>
