Description
This module is an interface for incron jobs with the main idea to be tidy. That means that any jobs that are not managed should not exist on the host.
Once you include incron, simply removing an incron::job from your manifests is sufficient for it to be cleaned up on your next
agent run. No need to ensure => absent anymore. Enjoy!
Setup
Beginning with incron
To start out with incron:
include incron
This will install the required package, enable incron service and start managing /etc/incron.d directory.
Warning: all unmanaged files in /etc/incron.d will be removed at this point. Be careful!
Usage
All interactions with incron jobs should be done using incron::job resource.
It works with at least 3 parameters:
incron::job { 'upload_file':
path => '/watched_directory',
event => 'IN_CLOSE_WRITE',
command => '/usr/local/bin/upload_file $#',
}
