Issue #22135 has been updated by Charlie Sharpsteen. Status changed from Unreviewed to Duplicate Assignee set to Charlie Sharpsteen
Puppet will not enforce any state that is not specified for a resource. For example, Puppet won't reset the mode on a file if the mode property is not set for the file resource. In the case of cron resources, this behavior applies to schedule components as noted in [the docs](http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/3.2.latest/type.html#cron): > An important note: the Cron type will not reset parameters that are removed > from a manifest. For example, removing a minute => 10 parameter will not > reset the minute component of the associated cronjob to *. Closing as a duplicate of #1453. ---------------------------------------- Bug #22135: Changing Cron in Module doesn't overwrite crontab entry correctly https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/22135#change-96292 * Author: Paul O'Connor * Status: Duplicate * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Charlie Sharpsteen * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- If I create a cron in Puppet like this: <pre> cron { 'Rotate carbon logs': command => '/opt/graphite/bin/carbon-logrotate.sh', user => root, hour => 1, minute => 15, } </pre> it will correctly add an entry in the crontab: <pre> 15 1 * * * /opt/graphite/bin/carbon-logrotate.sh </pre> If I then modify the Cron job to this: <pre> cron { 'Rotate carbon logs': command => '/opt/graphite/bin/carbon-logrotate.sh', user => root, hour => '*/1', } </pre> The cron job becomes this: <pre> 15 */1 * * * /opt/graphite/bin/carbon-logrotate.sh </pre> Notice that the 15 minutes is left in place but is not defined by Puppet.
