Putting cron jobs in individual lines of a shared cron file has always been an iffy sort of task. Errors in ansible scripting can lead to putting in duplicate lines, and failing to clear slightly older formats of the same line. It's why I encourage using "/etc/cron.daily" files and similar hoptions. Those can also help prevent running your cron job in the midst of another interfering cron jobs, such as database backups and filesystem backups. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
