cron Cookbook

Installs the cron package and starts the crond service.

Requirements

Platforms:
- RHEL family
- Debian family
- Solaris family
- Gentoo

Resources and Providers

`cron_d`

The cron_d LWRP can be used to manage files in /etc/cron.d. It supports the same interface as Chef's built-in cron resource:

cron_d 'daily-usage-report' do
  minute  0
  hour    23
  command '/srv/app/scripts/daily_report'
  user    'appuser'
end

Note: This LWRP does not function on Solaris platforms because they do not support running jobs stored in /etc/cron.d.

Attributes

minute, hour, day, month, weekday - schedule your cron job. These correspond exactly to their equivalents in the crontab file. All default to "*".
predefined_value - schedule your cron job with one of the special predefined value instead of * * * * * pattern. This correspond to @reboot, @yearly, @annually, @monthly, @weekly, @daily, @midnight or @hourly.
command - the command to run. Required.
user - the user to run as. Defaults to "root".
mailto, path, home, shell - set the corresponding environment variables in the cron.d file. No default.

Definitions

`cron_manage`

The cron_manage definition can be used to manage the /etc/cron.allow and /etc/cron.deny files.

Incude this cookbook as dependency to your cookbook and execute the definition as:

The following will add the user mike to the /etc/cron.allow file:

cron_manage 'mike' do
  user   'mike'
  action :allow
end

The following will add the user john to the /etc/cron.deny file:

cron_manage 'john' do
  user  'john'  #optional, resource name will be used if not specified.
  action :deny  #optional, deny is the default
end

Attributes

user - username that you want to control (optional).
action - :allow or :deny. :deny is the default.
