[chef] Re: Re: Re: Re: cron

[Mike < >]

A more complete example, using the `cron` cookbook [1]:

my_cookbook/recipes/somecron.rb:

include_recipe 'cron'

cookbook_file '/tmp/my_special_script.sh' do

  mode 00755

end

cron_d 'run_my_special_script' do

  minute 0

  hour 22

  command "/tmp/my_special_script.sh"

  user "appuser"

end

You could also deploy a straight cron file into /etc/cron.d/<my file>, but I prefer the cron cookbook and the resource it provides.

I am not sure what you mean by that. Do I have to use another cookbook? Would you be able to provide an example?

You would use a cookbook_file resource for that (or template, or remote_file). The cron resource only handles the cron scheduling side of things.

I am trying to use the cron cookbook. I am unsure how to specify a file to upload to the server and to run that script within the cron job.
