Resources
cron_d
The cron_d
custom resource can be used to manage files in /etc/cron.d
. It supports the same interface as Chef's built-in cron
resource:
Properties
-
cron_name
- Set the name of the cron job. If this isn't specified we'll use the resource name. -
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
,random_delay
- set the corresponding environment variables in the cron.d file. No default. -
environment
- a Hash containing additional arbitrary environment variables under which the cron job will be run (similar to theshell
LWRP). No default. -
comment
- A comment to place in the cron.d file -
mode
- the octal mode of the generated crontab file. Defaults to0600
.
Examples
cron_d 'daily-usage-report' do minute 0 hour 23 command '/srv/app/scripts/daily_report' user 'appuser' end
cron_d 'Setup the daily usage cron job' do cron_name 'daily-usage-report' minute 0 hour 23 command '/srv/app/scripts/daily_report' user 'appuser' end
Definitions
cron_manage
The cron_manage
definition can be used to manage the /etc/cron.allow
and /etc/cron.deny
files. Include this cookbook as dependency to your cookbook and execute the definition as:
Properties
-
user
- username that you want to control (optional). -
action
-:allow
or:deny
. :deny is the default.
Examples
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

cron Cookbook CHANGELOG
This file is used to list changes made in each version of the cron cookbook.
6.0.0 (2018-05-11)
- The cron_d resource no longer provides crontab emulation on FreeBSD or Solaris. This is outside the scope of this resource and users on platforms without cron.d support should instead use Chef's build in cron resource which manages the monolithic cron config.
- define pld linux package and service name used for cron
- Simplify how we validate the predfined_value property to provide better error messages
- Add a name_property if you want a more descriptive resource name

- Document the comment property in the readme
- Create a single test suite to speed up testing
5.1.0 (2018-03-19)
- Add support for Amazon Linux 2.0
