>From Stephan:
@joshcooper I cannot say anything about aix but I checked Solaris at $WORK
today and `"can't open your crontab"` does indeed return with a non zero
exitcode. But I think we should move the
`return "" if output.include?("can't open your crontab")`
in the ensure block because "can't open your crontab" is raised when "the user
can access the crontab command but no crontab file exists"
<http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19082-01/819-2380/sysrescron-60/index.html> so the
user should not see a prefetching failed message in this case I guess.

Bug #14283: Solaris 11 cron provider oddities
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/14283#change-68937
Author: Ben Hughes
Status: In Topic Branch Pending Review
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Josh Cooper
Category: cron
Target version: 2.7.x
Affected Puppet version:
Keywords: solaris cron
Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1025
# Overview #
Solaris 11/Sparc with Puppet 2.7.14ish
(a47c42d6b9c7ed6022b0e7d37505b0c694a5b8d2).
The Cron provider doesn't appear to actually provide multiple crons..
# Expected Behaviour #
Crontab contains all the correct cron entries from say:
<pre>
cron{ 'zfs_scrubber':
command => 'for x in $( zpool list -H | cut -f 1 ); do zpool scrub
"${x}" ; done',
user => 'root',
environment => 'PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin',
hour => '3',
minute => '33',
weekday => '6',
}
</pre>
# Actual Behaviour #
<pre>
[root@mundilfari:/var]# crontab -l root

# Puppet Name: puppet agent
42 * * * * /opt/csw/bin/puppet agent --onetime --no-daemonize >/dev/null
</pre>
Now I run puppet on said host:
<pre>

I actually snipped a few there, as it was getting lengthy...
But now we run crontab -l root and get...
<pre>
[root@mundilfari:/var]# crontab -l root

</pre>
So where did they go?!
# Detail #
So the cronjob, at least as far as my Solaris-fu is concerned, doesn't appear
to exist.
<pre>
[root@mundilfari:~]# gfind /etc /var -xdev -type f -print0 | xargs -0 ggrep -il
zfs_scrubber
/var/lib/puppet/client_yaml/catalog/mundilfari.dc1.puppetlabs.net.yaml
/var/lib/puppet/state/resources.txt
/var/lib/puppet/state/state.yaml
/var/lib/puppet/state/last_run_report.yaml
/var/adm/messages
/var/adm/messages.0
</pre>
# Work Around #
Not use Solaris.
