----------------------------------------
Bug #6893: Document the cron type in the case of specials.
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6893

Author: Ben Hughes
Status: Available In Testing Branch
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Ben Hughes
Category: documentation
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: cron
Branch: [email protected]:barn/puppet.git


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>
