I'm not 100% sure this is a bug so I wanted to solicit some feedback from
others. The problem is that if you have a cron that manages hours and remove
that parameter it doesn't reset the hours to * which is really what I think it
should do if you don't include one, start from *. I can see there could be
arguments for leaving existing parameters alone if untouched but generally if
I'm removing the hour it's because I want it to reset to *.
<pre>
contents of test.pp:
cron { 'test-cron':
command => 'echo radical',
hour => '*/1',
minute => '59',
}
[root@per5-ashp-shell1 tmp2]# puppet apply test.pp
notice: /Stage[main]//Cron[test-cron]/ensure: created
Lines in crontab:
# Puppet Name: test-cron
59 */1 * * * echo radical
cron { 'test-cron':
command => 'echo different command',
minute => '30',
}
[root@per5-ashp-shell1 tmp2]# puppet apply test-new.pp
notice: /Stage[main]//Cron[test-cron]/command: command changed 'echo radical'
to 'echo different command'
notice: /Stage[main]//Cron[test-cron]/minute: minute changed '59' to '30'
Lines in crontab:
# Puppet Name: test-cron
30 */1 * * * echo different command
I feel like if puppet is managing the entire entry then it should not just
leave whatever the parameter was last set to, but others may disagree.
