Issue #593 has been updated by Felix Frank.
Jeff, thanks for following up on both ends. I'm still not sure if I'm on the right track wrt. variable scoping, but I'll just try and access everything via "self." if possible. I'd love to introduce tests, as a matter of fact. I had a hard time getting my head around the whole topic, so the pointers are most appreciated! API documentation resides in puppetdoc, right? I shall try and update the pertaining sections. ---------------------------------------- Bug #593: Puppet's cron type struggles with vixie-cron https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/593#change-80670 Author: Peter Abrahamsen Status: Tests Insufficient Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: cron Target version: Affected Puppet version: 0.25.1 Keywords: cronfixit Branch: After making a few changes to my cron job in my manifest, my crontab begins to look like: <pre> # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall. # (- installed on Thu Apr 12 12:16:01 2007) # (Cron version V5.0 -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.12 2004/01/23 18:56:42 vixie Exp $) # HEADER This file was autogenerated at Thu Apr 12 12:16:01 -0700 2007 by puppet. # HEADER While it can still be managed manually, it is definitely notrecommended. # HEADER Note particularly that the comments starting with 'Puppet Name' should # HEADER not be deleted, as doing so could cause duplicate cron jobs. # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall. # (- installed on Wed Apr 11 16:42:40 2007) # (Cron version V5.0 -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.12 2004/01/23 18:56:42 vixie Exp $) # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall. # (- installed on Tue Apr 10 13:49:45 2007) # (Cron version V5.0 -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.12 2004/01/23 18:56:42 vixie Exp $) # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall. # (- installed on Thu Apr 5 17:36:42 2007) # (Cron version V5.0 -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.12 2004/01/23 18:56:42 vixie Exp $) # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall. # (/tmp/crontab.XXXXWxMPKB installed on Thu Apr 5 17:08:07 2007) # (Cron version V5.0 -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.12 2004/01/23 18:56:42 vixie Exp $) # Puppet Name: websync */10 * * * * <snip> </pre> If puppet would put its notice just before the first job it manages, I think it would avoid this problem. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
