[packer] Cannot install crontab using shell provisioner on an EC2 instance
I'm trying to install crontab on an AMI image using the shell provisioner
like this:
{
"type": "shell",
"skip_clean": true,
"inline": [
"some commands above and here and then..",
"(crontab -l 2> /dev/null; echo '0 03 * * *
/home/ec2-user/cron/some-script.sh') | crontab -"
]
}
SSH username in the builder is set to *ec2-user*. The problem is that when
I create an instance from the image and log in I cannot see any cron
installed by checking with *crontab -l*. However when I keep the script on
the image by setting *skip_clean* to *true* and execute the script again
manually (as ec2-user) then the cron entry is set up. That seems strange to
me, because all other commands in the inline sections execute just fine.
Any thoughts please?
Thanks,
Stan
