Cronjob setup

Setup role for installing a cronjob from a supplied file

Overview

The cronjob setup expects a specified cronjob file on the host that acts as cron facts storage. This is encoded as JSON.

The following variables can be set inside the control file:

  • cron_minute
  • cron_hour
  • cron_day
  • cron_month
  • cron_weekday
  • cron_description
  • cron_job

Besides the time settings the job and a description get set. The job is equal to the exact command that gets executed inside the crontab entry. The description is just an internal reference for Ansible about this specific crontab entry.

Example:

{
    "cron_minute": "20",
    "cron_hour": "4",
    "cron_job": "echo 'Hello'",
    "cron_description": "My new task"
}

This will output 20 4 * * * inside the crontab entry. When nothing is supplied for given time variable * is assumed!

Default Vars

cron_cronfile: "/file/on/host.something"
  • Supplied cronfile
  • File on host
cron_user: "root"
  • User into whose crontab the job will be installed
