Issue #593 has been updated by Felix Frank.
Great, thanks again. I shall follow up outside this bug. As an aside on topic, this bug does not appear to affect newer cron versions. Affected header: <pre> # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall. # (- installed on Tue May 22 11:53:15 2012) # (Cron version V5.0 -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.12 2004/01/23 18:56:42 vixie Exp $) </pre> Unaffected (as in Debian sid): <pre> # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall. # (- installed on Tue Jan 8 18:08:51 2013) # (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 2.13 1994/01/17 03:20:37 vixie Exp $) </pre> That being said, the above example is from SLES11 SP2, which is still a supported platform, so it still warrants fixing IMO. ---------------------------------------- Bug #593: Puppet's cron type struggles with vixie-cron https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/593#change-80699 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.
