Issue #19198 has been updated by eric sorenson.

Status changed from Unreviewed to Closed
Assignee set to eric sorenson

The cron type doesn't manage fields you don't specify; it reads in the current 
definition and alters it only if any parameters __which you've specified__ are 
out of sync with the existing values. 

If you change your weekday parameter from a specific day to '*' you should see 
the behaviour you want.

Bug #19198: cron Type doesn't update on Weekday removal
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/19198#change-83102

Author: Adam Carr
Status: Closed
Priority: Normal

Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 3.1.0
Keywords: cron weekday
Branch: 


Having had a Weekday listed within a cron definition, subsequent removal of 
that Weekday parameter left the weekday element of the implied cron set to its 
previous value.

As an example the following definition produces the correct output in crontab:

    cron { myExampleCronJob:
        command => '/bin/echo "cheese" > /dev/null 2>&1',
        user    => me,
        hour    => 0,
        minute  => 0,
        weekday => monday,
    }

    [root@myserver ~]$ crontab -l -u me
    # HEADER: This file was autogenerated...
    # Puppet Name: myExampleCronJob
    0 0 * * 1 /bin/echo "cheese" > /dev/null 2>&1

Modifying the example and updating the server presents crontab distorted from 
the definitions intent:

    cron { myExampleCronJob:
        command => '/bin/echo "cheese" > /dev/null 2>&1',
        user    => me,
        hour    => 0,
        minute  => 1,
    }

    [root@myserver ~]$ crontab -l -u me
    # HEADER: This file was autogenerated...
    # Puppet Name: myExampleCronJob
    0 1 * * 1 /bin/echo "cheese" > /dev/null 2>&1

Where this should revert to:

    0 1 * * * /bin/echo "cheese" > /dev/null 2>&1
