This is a bug because opswork was using Chef 9 (very outdated Chef).
Currently they have already upgraded to Chef 11.4, so you can try again, because my script in the question now is working.
Pregunta
I've this script in my recipe
cron "logs_processPageView" do
minute "*"
hour "*"
day "*"
month "*"
weekday "*"
command %Q{
echo "hi" >> /home/ubuntu/test.txt
}
action :create
end
When I run the recipe with opswork, here is the corresponding log
[Fri, 12 Jul 2013 02:42:48 +0000] DEBUG: Processing cron[logs_processPageView] on test1.localdomain
[Fri, 12 Jul 2013 02:42:48 +0000] DEBUG: Cron 'logs_processPageView' not found
[Fri, 12 Jul 2013 02:42:48 +0000] INFO: Added cron 'logs_processPageView'
{code}
I assumed the cron have been added to the cron job.
But when I ssh'd to the instance, there is no test.txt, even if I wait an hour. Also there is no new cronjob when I run {code}sudo crontab -l{code} or {code}crontab -l{code}.
Why the resource not adding the cronjob?
I tried to use cron cookbook. There is new file in /etc/cron.d/cronfile, but the cron still not working.
What did I've done wrong? And how to fix it?
