Ok got it! I've corrected it and this is what I have now:
cron { "apache-chown":
command => "/bin/chown -R apache:ftpgroup /var/www",
user => 'root',
hour => 0,
minute => '0'
}
cron { "chmod-files":
command => "/bin/find /var/www -type f -exec chmod -v 664 {} \;",
user => 'root',
hour => 0,
minute => '0'
}
cron { "chmod-directories":
command => "/bin/find /var/www -type d -exec chmod -v 775 {} \;",
user => 'root',
hour => 0,
minute => '0'
}
Thanks for your input!
