NAME
Config::Generator::Crontab - Config::Generator crontab support
DESCRIPTION
This module eases the generation of crontabs.
A crontab is represented by a hash with one optional special key (mailto
representing who should receive the cron reports) and the other keys for the cron entries themselves. For instance:
$cron{mailto} = "john.doe\@acme.org";
$cron{hourlyfoo} = "<{rnd60}> * * * * foo --option 3";
$cron{dailybar} = "<{rnd60}> <{rnd24}> * * * bar";
$contents = format_crontab(%cron);
The "<{rnd*}>" tokens will be replaced by pseudo-random numbers in the given range (24 or 60), provided by the Config::Generator::Random module.
FUNCTIONS
This module provides the following functions (none of them being exported by default):
- format_crontab(HASH)
-
transform the crontab abstraction represented by the given HASH into a string suitable to be saved under the
/etc/cron.d
directory
