Adding back to the pool of unreviewed issues. ---------------------------------------- Bug #4241: Cron type behavior change https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4241 Author: Cody Robertson Status: Accepted Priority: High Assignee: Category: cron Target version: Affected Puppet version: 0.25.5 Keywords: Branch: I've recently re-deployed with a newer version (0.25.1 to 0.25.5) with the same cron configuration and I'm now getting different results The cron config in question: <pre> # From example http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/type.html cron { "command": command => "/bin/command", user => "root", hour => [0,12], } </pre> In my previous setup (0.25.1) this produced the following in the crontab: <pre> # Puppet Name: command 0 0,12 * * * /bin/command </pre> Which according to the examples in the documentation is correct. However in my 0.25.5 deployment it produces: <pre> # Puppet Name: command * 0,12 * * * /bin/command </pre> Clearly this will run every minute which is not the expected result. To fix this all you have to do is specify the __minute__ parameter however this seems like a potentially dangerous change (bug?). -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
