module: cron
short_description: Manage cron.d and crontab entries
description:
- Use this module to manage crontab and environment variables entries. This module allows
you to create environment variables and named crontab entries, update, or delete them.
- 'When crontab jobs are managed: the module includes one line with the description of the
crontab entry C("#Ansible: <name>") corresponding to the "name" passed to the module,
which is used by future ansible/module calls to find/check the state. The "name"
parameter should be unique, and changing the "name" value will result in a new cron
task being created (or a different one being removed).'
- When environment variables are managed, no comment line is added, but, when the module
needs to find/check the state, it uses the "name" parameter to find the environment
variable definition line.
- When using symbols such as %, they must be properly escaped.
version_added: "0.9"
options:
name:
description:
- Description of a crontab entry or, if env is set, the name of environment variable.
- This parameter is always required as of ansible-core 2.12.
type: str
required: yes
user:
description:
- The specific user whose crontab should be modified.
- When unset, this parameter defaults to the current user.
type: str
job:
description:
- The command to execute or, if env is set, the value of environment variable.
- The command should not contain line breaks.
- Required if O(state=present).
type: str
aliases: [ value ]
state:
description:
- Whether to ensure the job or environment variable is present or absent.
type: str
choices: [ absent, present ]
default: present
cron_file:
description:
- If specified, uses this file instead of an individual user's crontab.
The assumption is that this file is exclusively managed by the module,
do not use if the file contains multiple entries, NEVER use for /etc/crontab.
- If this is a relative path, it is interpreted with respect to C(/etc/cron.d).
- Many linux distros expect (and some require) the filename portion to consist solely
of upper- and lower-case letters, digits, underscores, and hyphens.
- Using this parameter requires you to specify the O(user) as well, unless O(state) is not V(present).
- Either this parameter or O(name) is required
type: path
backup:
description:
- If set, create a backup of the crontab before it is modified.
The location of the backup is returned in the RV(ignore:backup_file) variable by this module.
type: bool
default: no
minute:
description:
- Minute when the job should run (V(0-59), V(*), V(*/2), and so on).
type: str
default: "*"
hour:
description:
- Hour when the job should run (V(0-23), V(*), V(*/2), and so on).
type: str
default: "*"
day:
description:
- Day of the month the job should run (V(1-31), V(*), V(*/2), and so on).
type: str
default: "*"
aliases: [ dom ]
month:
description:
- Month of the year the job should run (V(1-12), V(*), V(*/2), and so on).
type: str
default: "*"
weekday:
description:
- Day of the week that the job should run (V(0-6) for Sunday-Saturday, V(*), and so on).
type: str
default: "*"
aliases: [ dow ]
special_time:
description:
- Special time specification nickname.
type: str
choices: [ annually, daily, hourly, monthly, reboot, weekly, yearly ]
version_added: "1.3"
disabled:
description:
- If the job should be disabled (commented out) in the crontab.
- Only has effect if O(state=present).
type: bool
default: no
version_added: "2.0"
env:
description:
- If set, manages a crontab's environment variable.
- New variables are added on top of crontab.
- O(name) and O(value) parameters are the name and the value of environment variable.
type: bool
default: false
version_added: "2.1"
insertafter:
description:
- Used with O(state=present) and O(env).
- If specified, the environment variable will be inserted after the declaration of specified environment variable.
type: str
version_added: "2.1"
insertbefore:
description:
- Used with O(state=present) and O(env).
- If specified, the environment variable will be inserted before the declaration of specified environment variable.
