Re: Getting Config::Crontab to Write File to Crontab Commandby waswas-fng (Curate) |

Config::Crontab's POD does have a long example for how to read/write users crontabs in it...
Update: It does look as though Config::Crontab handles restarting crontab and setting other user's crontabs via the system crontab command -- but looking though the code a few things you need to be aware of: 1: As you can see below the crontab command is not absolute -- you should make sure your PATH is set correctly before calling this write function -- or better yet modify Config::Crontab to use a setting to define where crontab exists on the filesystem (and maybe submit a patch). 2: The Module does not check if you are root before trying to update any users crontab -- if you are modding users crontabs other than your running UID, you should run as root and also verify the script is running as root before you call the writes. -Waswas
