Hey Joey & Christian,
Just like you would when manually adding a cronjob you should have '*/30',
so your resource should look like this.
cron { "facts-cron":
command => "/usr/bin/facter -y > /etc/mcollective/facts.yaml",
user => 'root',
hour => 0,
minute => '*/30'
}
Hope this helps!
Very cool guys. Thanks for the examples! This helps.
Best!
Tim
