Ansibleでcronを設定するTIPS

- name: set cron
  become: True
  template:
    src: templates/cron.sh.j2
    dest: /root/cron.sh

- name: set cron
  become: True
  cron:
    name: backup
    minute: 0
    hour: 3
    job: "sh /root/cron.sh 1>> /var/log/nas-log/exec.log 2>> /var/log/nas-log/error.log"
    state: present

cronモジュールを使って、crontabの設定を編集する。 時間指定も可能で何もなければデフォルトで*になる。

cronファイルから読み取らせたり削除したりすることも可能

  cron:
    name: "check dirs"
    minute: "0"
    hour: "5,2"
    job: "ls -alh > /dev/null"

- name: 'Ensure an old job is no longer present. Removes any job that is prefixed by "#Ansible: an old job" from the crontab'
  cron:
    name: "an old job"
    state: absent

- name: Creates an entry like "@reboot /some/job.sh"
  cron:
    name: "a job for reboot"
    special_time: reboot
    job: "/some/job.sh"

- name: Creates an entry like "PATH=/opt/bin" on top of crontab
  cron:
    name: PATH
    env: yes
    job: /opt/bin

- name: Creates an entry like "APP_HOME=/srv/app" and insert it after PATH declaration
  cron:
    name: APP_HOME
    env: yes
    job: /srv/app
    insertafter: PATH

- name: Creates a cron file under /etc/cron.d
  cron:
    name: yum autoupdate

    user: root
    job: "YUMINTERACTIVE=0 /usr/sbin/yum-autoupdate"
    cron_file: ansible_yum-autoupdate
