$10-30 USD
Paguhet në dorëzim
your task is to deliver a bash script which installs defines specific execution times for these entries
PATH=something
17 * * * * root cd / && run-parts --report /etc/[login to view URL]
25 2 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/[login to view URL] )
47 2 * * 7 root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/[login to view URL] )
52 2 1 * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/[login to view URL] )
Story:
as a admin I want to have organized cron execution times over all servers in one central json file.
on the first run the crontab shall be fetched and all current crontab entries need to be added into the json file.
On subsequent runs, the crontab gets overwritten by the terms of Ansible crontab handling with the values from the file.
So the role has to detect if the given server + crontab is new/fresh and either creates the json entries.
The json file resides on the Ansible management server and is a local file from perspecitve of Ansible service.
The json file contains
- hostname
- the FQDN of the hostname,
- a unique id/UUID of the server to identify by this ID (e.g. if the servername changes)
- the cron type (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, ...)
- and the corresponding execution times
- managedCrontab flag (enabled or disabled), to indicate if this entry is managed by this script and updated on each run automatically the configured times
The file structure as sample can be shared.
logic:
if the hostname+fqdn is missing the file gets updated and the timings have to be defined by the admin
this is done by prompting the admin and showing the "current" crontab timings
if the hostname+fqdn is existing and matching, an update is getting executed and the admin is getting prompted with an timeout of 10 seconds, if he wants to modify the changes. After 10 seconds timeout, no change is done
if the delete operation is taken, the config file needs to be correspondingly update, by disabling the entry
the bash shall do:
your task is to:
- develop the bash script, fully documented
- you will need to test it on Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04, debian 11
you deliver a well documented/commented bash script with a description what is done in the next step to make reviews possible
you deliver into a git repo
