Hi Peter,
with the help of Jerrery, i got the below module and i modified it as per
our requirement. So the below module will create a crontab on root user
right ?
# Generate the times when the cronjob will run
class cron_puppet {
$cron_time1= generate('/usr/bin/env', 'sh', '-c', "printf $(($(echo
$::ipaddress | awk -F . \'{print \$1+\$2+\$3+\$4}\') % 30))")
$cron_time2 = $cron_time1 + 30
cron { 'run-my-puppet-agent':
ensure => present,
command => /usr/local/sbin/puppetd --onetime --no-daemonize >
/dev/null 2>&1,
minute => [$cron_time1, $cron_time2],
user => 'root',
}
}
