cron Cookbook
Installs the cron package and starts the crond service.
Note: Chef 14.4 shipped with the cron_d and cron_access (cron_manage) resources. When Chef 15.4 ships in Aug 2019 these resources will be removed from this cookbook as all users should be on Chef 14.4 or later.

6.2.2 (2019-09-30)
6.2.1 (2018-09-04)
- Added a note to the readme announcing the deprecation of the cron_d and cron_access resources in this cookbook. As both of these resources shipped in Chef 14.4 they will be deprecated when Chef 15.4 ships in Aug 2019.
6.2.0 (2018-07-24)
- Finish the random_delay property begun in
6.1.1 (2018-05-11)
- Add missing type for cron_name property
- Add specs for additional platforms
- Faise with a better message on non-Linux platforms in the cron_d resource
6.1.0 (2018-05-11)
- Converted chef_manage definition to a custom resource using the accumulator pattern. This will allow for reporting and notification from these resources as they are now real resources. The existing cron_manage name was changed to cron_access, but the existing name will continue to function.
- Remove the file used with monolithic cron file hosts to fake cron.d. This was unused since 6.0 removed that functionality.
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
- Make sure cron files are 0600 not 0644 for CIS compliance
- 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
- Remove Chef 12 testing since Chef 12 goes EOL in just a few weeks
- Test Amazon Linux / Ubuntu 18.04 and Chef 14
- Remove ChefSpec matchers since these are autogenerated now. If this causes failurs then you need to update to the latest ChefDK release
5.0.1 (2017-11-16)
- Remove the redundant name property in the cron_d resource
5.0.0 (2017-10-23)
- Require Chef 12.7+ and remove compat_resource dependency

4.1.2 (2017-05-30)
