# Cronvar Plugin: The goal of this plugin is to provide an idempotent
# method for set cron variable values. It should play well with the
# existing cron module as well as allow for manually added variables.
# Each variable entered will be preceded with a comment describing the
# variable so that it can be found later. This is required to be
# present in order for this plugin to find/modify the variable
# This module is based on the crontab module.

module: cronvar
short_description: Manage variables in crontabs
description:
- Use this module to manage crontab variables.
- This module allows you to create, update, or delete cron variable definitions.

support: none
diff_mode:
support: none
options:
name:
description:
- Name of the crontab variable.
type: str
required: true
value:
description:
- The value to set this variable to.
- Required if I(state=present).
type: str
insertafter:
description:
- If specified, the variable will be inserted after the variable specified.
- Used with I(state=present).
type: str
insertbefore:
description:
- Used with I(state=present). If specified, the variable will be inserted
just before the variable specified.
type: str
state:
description:
- Whether to ensure that the variable is present or absent.
type: str
choices: [ absent, present ]
default: present
user:
description:
- The specific user whose crontab should be modified.
- This parameter defaults to C(root) when unset.
type: str
cron_file:
description:
- If specified, uses this file instead of an individual user's crontab.
- Without a leading C(/), this is assumed to be in I(/etc/cron.d).
- With a leading C(/), this is taken as absolute.
type: str
backup:
description:
- If set, create a backup of the crontab before it is modified.
The location of the backup is returned in the C(backup) variable by this module.
