schedule whole class and not only resources

[Andreas Dvorak]

Dear all,

I have a class with many resource that should only run at one certain time. I could add a schedule to every resource, but that is the same line at all the resources.
Is there a solution to schedule the whole class at one place.

something like this

include abc {
 schedule ....
}

Best regards,
Andreas

Hi,

the intuitive approach would be:

class { 'abc': schedule => ... }

A tentative test seems to indicate that this does in fact not work. If
this is important to you, you could open a feature request in Jira.

Thanks,
Felix

You could use resource defaults[1] to achieve this. If your class is
using the schedule metaparameter for a bunch of exec's you could add

Exec {
schedule => 'my_schedule',
}

schedule { 'my_schedule':
period => daily,
range => '2-4',
}

This would add the schedule parameter with the value 'my_schedule' to
all of the exec{} resources within the class.
