This state manages the file ``cron.conf`` under ``/etc/cron`` (template found in "cron/files"). The configuration is populated by values in "cron/map.jinja" based on the package's default values (and RedHat, Debian, Suse and Arch family distribution specific values), which can then be overridden by values of the same name in pillar.
``cron.service``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Manage the ``cron`` service. Stopping or starting it. If needed, you can disable the cron service by setting the ``enabled: false`` option in the pillar.
Testing
-------
Linux testing is done with ``kitchen-salt``.
Requirements
^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Ruby
* Docker
..code-block:: bash
$ gem install bundler
$ bundle install
$ bin/kitchen test [platform]
Where ``[platform]`` is the platform name defined in ``kitchen.yml``,
e.g. ``debian-9-2019-2-py3``.
``bin/kitchen converge``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Creates the docker instance and runs the ``cron`` main state, ready for testing.
``bin/kitchen verify``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Runs the ``inspec`` tests on the actual instance.
``bin/kitchen destroy``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Removes the docker instance.
``bin/kitchen test``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Runs all of the stages above in one go: i.e. ``destroy`` + ``converge`` + ``verify`` + ``destroy``.
``bin/kitchen login``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Gives you SSH access to the instance for manual testing.
