What you want is a /etc/cron.puppet.d and a way to link files there
into /etc/cron.d (cron supports symlinks). And you want the symlinks
to track the contents of the directory. That way you can use purge.
You could write a script that runs on the client that does that.
Run it from cron, or trigger with puppet. Something like:
$ cat track-with-links
#! /bin/bash
m=master # master directory
s=slave # slave directory
for f in $( ls $s )
do
[ ! -e $s/$f ] && echo removing $s/$f && rm -f $s/$f
done
for f in $( ls $m )
do
[ ! -e $s/$f ] && echo adding $s/$f && ln -fs ../$m/$f $s/$f
done
here is a test session:
vagn@nika:~/tmp$ ls master/ slave/
master/:
baz
slave/:
baz
vagn@nika:~/tmp$ touch master/foo ; rm master/baz
vagn@nika:~/tmp$ ./track-with-links ; ls master/ slave/
removing slave/baz
adding slave/foo
master/:
foo
slave/:
foo
vagn@nika:~/tmp$
