Hi,
I have puppet running just for a group of 5 servers. I am planning for
increase and thus why I am starting now with puppet.
I have only one github puppet module, puppet-timezone, as default for all
nodes and is currently the only module even set up. This is key for our
scripts to run.
cat site.pp
> class base {
> class { 'timezone':
> timezone => 'PST8PDT',
> ensure => present,
> autoupgrade => true,
> }
> }
> node default {
> include base
> }
Now I want to create 2 groups, one called cacher and other procacher which
will contain about 4 or so nodes each. They are identical servers in each
group.
Now I use this on each node install of puppet:
crontab -l -u root
> # Puppet agent check-in to save resources:
> 0 1 * * * puppet agent --test --onetime
I dont need them to check timezone sync all the time and I can utilize
system resourses by leaving puppet off only to run cron 1 time per day.
These are small machines and thus dont need puppet agent going all the time.
Now I want to set up a custom module that will edit a users crontab and
make sure the two tasks are uncommented out, but this I want to check every
5 min.
crontab -u user -l
> # ORDERS
> */5 * * * * nice /home/user/other-script.php
> "/home/user/other-script.log" >> /home/user/other-script.log
> # BATCH
> */5 * * * * nice /home/user/script.php "/home/user/script.log" >>
> /home/user/script.log
So my question/ help needed is 2 parts.
*1st.)* What is the simplest way to create a custom module to check this is
exactly as is every 5 min, but when I want to it will comment out those two
scripts and make sure they stay that way till I want them back on?
*2nd.)* (Not as important but would be nice) Is it possible to run this
module check in crontab -u root every 5 min separate from the default once
a day check for any other config options/modules I will use in the future,
including puppet-timezone which is currently only one?
Thanks in advance.
Tony
