[Puppet Users] manage cron jobs

[johnson]

Hi All,

is it possible to delete cronjobs by patterns using 'cron' resource?
I.e. I want to make sure that there is no any cronjob that contains "/
path/to/some/unneeded_file" command in root crontab without knowing
the command possible parameters and schedule.

If no, any suggestions about how it can be performed are welcome.

Thanks in advance

No, it's currently not possible.

The only thing close is using the 'resources' type to purge unmanaged
cron jobs, but that would remove all unmanaged cron jobs from all
users, which is probably not what you want.

Thanks for the reply, Luke. I'll try to find some workaround and will post
it here if I find any.
