Ok, assuming I've got in site.pp schedule { maint: range => "2 - 4", period => daily, repeat => 1 } How do I use that in other classes and resources? The Language tutorial http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/LanguageTutorial doesn't mention them. Do you do something like: cron { 'a_beaut_cronjob': cmd => 'echo foo', requires => Schedule[ maint ], } -- +-Geoff Crompton +--Debian System Administrator +---Trinity College --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
