Here's what I do. I use generate() to calculate the run times for our jobs
so that each server runs twice per hour at a pseudo-random but consistent
time. I use the IP address of the server, modulo 30.
# Generate the times when the cronjob will run
$cron_time1= generate('/usr/bin/env', 'sh', '-c', "printf $(($(echo
$::ipaddress | awk -F . \'{print \$1+\$2+\$3+\$4}\') % 30))")
$cron_time2 = $cron_time1 + 30
cron { 'puppet-cron':
ensure => present,
command => $puppet_command,
minute => [$cron_time1, $cron_time2],
user => 'root',
}
Hope this helps,
Jeffrey.
