`cron` is one of those types that moved to forge but still ought to be included in the puppet-agent package; does that apply to our package, that is to ask, will proper master/agent setup run with without an extra manual cron module installation? At least that's how I read it; but then again this talks about the agent whereas the two of us are using a masterless setup without a (long running) agent involved. > $ puppet resource cron before command=/usr/bin/true > Error: Could not run: Could not find type cron > $ puppet module install puppetlabs-cron_core > Notice: Preparing to install into /home/arthurb/.puppetlabs/etc/code/modules > ... > Notice: Created target directory /home/arthurb/.puppetlabs/etc/code/modules > Notice: Downloading from https://forgeapi.puppet.com ... > Notice: Installing -- do not interrupt ... > /home/arthurb/.puppetlabs/etc/code/modules > └── puppetlabs-cron_core (v1.0.4) > $ puppet resource cron after command=/usr/bin/true > Notice: /Cron[after]/ensure: created > cron { 'after': > ensure => 'present', > command => '/usr/bin/true', > provider => 'crontab', > target => 'arthurb', > }
