The lineinfile is always an option, but you lose a lot of ansibles simplicity, and the regexp stuff is horror... I would try to convert your existing cronjobs to ansible syntax (i.e. write an ansible task that spits out the same line in the crontab) and then prefix your lines with the corresponding "#Ansibe: foo" line. This can be done manually, via template or with lineinefile. It all depends on the variety of your existing cronjobs. One per server? 20? The same everywhere, only with different arguments? Testing this with the disabled option to the cron module seems like a good idea. ;-) Johannes -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
