Defined Type: cron::job::multiple

Defined in:
manifests/job/multiple.pp

Overview

Type: cron::job::multiple

This type creates multiple cron jobs via a single file in /etc/cron.d/

Parameters:

jobs - required - a hash of multiple cron jobs using the same structure as
  cron::job and using the same defaults for each parameter.
ensure - The state to ensure this resource exists in. Can be absent, present
  Defaults to 'present'
environment - An array of environment variable settings.
  Defaults to an empty set ([]).
mode - The mode to set on the created job file
  Defaults to 0644.

Sample Usage:

cron::job::multiple { ‘test’:

jobs => [
  {
    minute      => '55',
    hour        => '5',
    date        => '*',
    month       => '*',
    weekday     => '*',
    user        => 'rmueller',
    command     => '/usr/bin/uname',
  },
  {
    command     => '/usr/bin/sleep 1',
  },
  {
    command     => '/usr/bin/sleep 10',
    special     => 'reboot',
  },
],
environment => [ 'PATH="/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"' ],

}

This will generate those three cron jobs in ‘/etc/cron.d/test`: 55 5 * * * rmueller /usr/bin/uname

          • root /usr/bin/sleep 1

Parameters:

  • jobs (Array[Struct[{ Optional['command'] => String[1], Optional['minute'] => Cron::Minute, Optional['hour'] => Cron::Hour, Optional['date'] => Cron::Date, Optional['month'] => Cron::Month, Optional['weekday'] => Cron::Weekday, Optional['special'] => Cron::Special, Optional['environment'] => Cron::Environment, Optional['user'] => Cron::User, Optional['description'] => String, }]])
  • ensure (Cron::Job_ensure) (defaults to: 'present')
  • environment (Cron::Environment) (defaults to: [])
  • mode (Cron::Mode) (defaults to: '0644')
