It is recommended to use an identifier with cron.present
Problematic code
hourly_reboot:
cron.present:
- name: '/sbin/reboot'
- user: root
- minute: '00'
- hour: *
Correct code
hourly_reboot:
cron.present:
- name: '/sbin/reboot'
- user: root
- minute: '00'
- hour: *
- identifier: hourly-reboot
Rationale
If an identifier
is not specified, the state name is used as an identifier
. It is however easier to (accidentally) change a state name, after which your cron entry will duplicate.
