I don't see any time declaration, you have to define how often your cronjob
should run, it's not necessary to define '*' when you don't want to set a
particular attribute. e.g.

If you want to run every minute you define:

cron { "app" :
     command     => ""nice -n -10 /usr/bin/php
/var/www/public_html/rotinas/rotinas.php 2>&1>> /var/log/app.log",
     environment => "PATH=$PATH",
     user        => root,
     minute    => "*/1"
}

And actually you can leave the time attributes all empty.  From the doc: *"All
fields except the command and the user are optional, although specifying no
periodic fields would result in the command being executed every minute."*

Hope that helps
