Puppet: cron schedule - error "invalid hour"
I need to schedule a cron job to run every 30 minutes from 0 to 6 and 13 to 23 every day. I tried this code:
cron { "MyJob":
ensure => present,
command => "my-cron-command",
user => 'root',
hour => "0-6,13-23",
minute => '*/30',
environment => "MY_ENV"
}
This doesn't work with
0-6,13-23 is not a valid hour
What format hour
should you use? Are there any other changes needed to the cron suggestion?

If you add multiple values for any attributes. Put them in a list of arrays. SO, the hour will be ['0-6', '13 -23 ']

You just need to specify the hours:
cron { "MyJob":
ensure => present,
command => "my-cron-command",
user => 'root',
hour => [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23],
minute => '*/30',
environment => "MY_ENV"
}
Works but hour => "0-6,13-23"
doesn't work.

Close but no cigar.
cron { "MyJob":
ensure => present,
command => "my-cron-command",
user => 'root',
hour => [ "0-6", "13-23" ],
minute => '*/30',
environment => "MY_ENV"
}
