Hi, Puppet does what you tell it to do, it usually doesnt have defaults.
if you want a default for any resource type, you should specify it, for example, if you don't want repeating yourself for all of your services you can do something like this (in a top level class declaration) Service {enable => true, ensure => running, hasstatus => true } the same can be done for cron.. cheers, Ohad On Mon, Apr 27, 2009 at 2:06 PM, Helmut Lichtenberg < helmut.lichtenb...@fli.bund.de> wrote: > > Hi, > I had a cronjob with: > > weekday => ['1-5'], > > and wanted to revert back to the default (*). > > Simply leaving out the weekday line did not activate the default.
