I SIGKILL cron for AIX, it is set to respawn in /etc/inittab. Others I did a
different action (like Linux listed below):
bundle agent update_cron {
files:
"$(global.crontabs)/root"
comment => "Add cf-agent to root's crontab",
edit_line => add_cf_cron,
classes => cdefine("restart_cron","failed_cron");
processes:
restart_cron.aix::
"cron"
comment => "Restart cron since it has been updated",
signals => { "kill" };
commands:
restart_cron.linux::
"/sbin/service crond restart > /dev/null"
comment => "restart cron since it has been updated",
contain => useshell;
}
