Rex cronjob module

This rex Module intends to facilitate Crontab management by allowing you to configured it in an CMDB yaml file.

Usage

Include it in your project meta.yaml

Require:
    Rex::Module::Commands::Cronjob:
        git: https://github.com/fccn/rcaap-rex-cronjob-module.git
        branch: main

please do a rexify --resolve-deps after adding it

Directly from CLI

You need to have in your CMDB yaml file the tasks configuration, example:

CMDB.yml

 Rex::Module::Commands::Cronjob::actions:
  wp_cron:
       command: "/usr/bin/php /wordpress/wp-cron.php"
       user: wp_user
       hour: 0
       minute: 0

You can execute it directly from the command line (please mind to firstly add use Rex::Module::Commands::Cronjob;):

rex -H $host Module:Commands:Cronjob:prepare

From your project

You can use it without parameters - it will use configured CMDB settings

 use Rex::Module::Commands::Cronjob;
    
 task "prepare", sub {
    Rex::Module::Commands::Cronjob::prepare();
 };

Or, you can use it as a library in your project

 use Rex::Module::Commands::Cronjob;
    
 task "prepare", sub {
    Rex::Module::Commands::Cronjob::prepare({
       Action => {
        {
            command => "/usr/bin/php /wordpress/wp-cron.php",
            user => wp_user,
            hour => 0,
            minute => 0,
        }  
       }
    });
 };

or you can also reference it in your batch tasks

use Rex::Module::Commands::Cronjob;

desc "Deploy batch task";
batch "deploy" => "initial_setup", "Module:Commands:Cronjob:prepare";
