Schedule Vcsrepo to sync local with remote

[mike r]

Hello everyone, 

Im trying to use vcsrepo to sync my PE Master files with a remote git repository

I wanted to sync every 15 min in case there are new commits on remote. Is there a way to set vcsrepo to run on PE Master periodically without using a cron job?

this is what my vcsrepo class looks like,

cat vcsrepo.pp

 vcsrepo { "${modulepath}/nginx/files/repo":

    ensure   => latest,

    provider => git,

    source   => https://github.com/myremote.git,

    revision => 'master',

    force    => true,

  }

Trying to avoid using cron but cant figure if its possible to run this on PE Master as 'puppet apply vcsrepo.pp' every 15 min or so.

Well `puppet apply` is definitely a great way to do this, but guess
what: The best way to do *that* periodically is...cron. :-)

HTH,
