Issue #656 has been updated by Felix Frank.
For what it's worth, I cannot reproduce any more.
<pre>
ffrank@hypnos:/tmp$ crontab -l

ffrank@hypnos:/tmp$ cat cronbug.pp
cron { hourly-puppet:
command => "/usr/bin/puppet \
--use-nodes /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp \
--logdest $logdest",
user => ffrank,
minute => 48,
}
ffrank@hypnos:/tmp$ puppet apply cronbug.pp

ffrank@hypnos:/tmp$ puppet apply cronbug.pp

ffrank@hypnos:/tmp$ puppet --version
2.7.18

I believe this issue can be safely rejected by now.
----------------------------------------
Bug #656: cron entries with newlines keep being updated
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/656#change-83320
Author: Tobu -
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee:
Category: cron
Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 0.24.7
Keywords: cronfixit
Branch:
Here is the puppet snippet I use:
<pre>
class standalone-puppet {
$logdest = "/var/log/puppet/cron.log"
cron { hourly-puppet:
command => "/usr/bin/puppet \
--use-nodes /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp \
--logdest $logdest",
user => root,
minute => 48,
}
}
</pre>
Every time puppet runs and updates the cronjob, on debian, it updates the cron
entry:
<pre>
notice: //default/standalone-puppet/Cron[hourly-puppet]/command: command
changed '/usr/bin/puppet --use-nodes /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp --logdest
/var/log/puppet/cron.log' to '/usr/bin/puppet
--use-nodes /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp --logdest
/var/log/puppet/cron.log'
</pre>
I'm not sure the problem is on puppet or crontab's side, but it would be nice
to prevent this.
Also, maybe there is a better technique for writing long strings - here
documents?
