# Cron Plugin: The goal of this plugin is to provide an indempotent method for
# setting up cron jobs on a host. The script will play well with other manually
# entered crons. Each cron job entered will be preceded with a comment
# describing the job so that it can be found later, which is required to be
# present in order for this plugin to find/modify the job.
#
# This module is based on python-crontab by Martin Owens.

module: cron
short_description: Manage cron.d and crontab entries.
description:
  - Use this module to manage crontab entries. This module allows you to create named
    crontab entries, update, or delete them.
  - 'The module includes one line with the description of the crontab entry C("#Ansible: <name>")
    corresponding to the "name" passed to the module, which is used by future ansible/module calls
    to find/check the state.  The "name" parameter is therefore quite important: it should be 
    unique, and changing the "name" value will result in a new cron task being created (or a 
    different one being removed).  In other words, don't change it.'
