Since you want to avoid the puppet "cron" type, I'd suggest using the "concat" module from <https://github.com/ripienaar/puppet-concat>. > How can I append to the file /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root , something > like appendifnosuchline in cfengine? You could probably use augeas for that, if you try hard enough, but I recommend concat. Some of the comments at <http://www.devco.net/archives/2010/02/19/building_files_from_fragments_with_puppet.php> discuss tradeoffs between concat and augeas. --apb (Alan Barrett) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
