In puppet, I am trying to create a defined resource with a cron resource in it. It is for a website that has a batch job that has to be run on certain days.
define website ( $sitename, $sitealias, $document_root, $cronjobs, $cron_weekday, $cron_minute, $cron_hour, ... some other code...
cron { "${title}-batchjob": user => "apache", command => "cd ${document_root}/scripts && /usr/bin/php ./batch.php &> /dev/null", minute => "${cron_minute}", hour => "${cron_hour}", weekday => "${cron_weekday}", } ) The problem is that if I want to run this cron job on multiple days, say tuesday and thursday, I would have to set $weekday='2,4'.
But to do this, the cron resource defines the weekday parameter as an array.
But how do I pass an array as a variable to the defined resource?
If I declare this refined resource as follows:
website { 'mysite': sitename => 'www.mysite.com', sitealias => 'mysite', document_root => '/var/www/mysite.com', cronjobs => true, cron_hour => '2', cron_minute => '0', cron_weekday => '2,4', } I get an error saying that 24 is not a valid weekday.
It seems I have to use an array for cron_weekday, but I don't know how to pass a variable as an array in the defined resource.
