Creating a cron job in puppet

Question

I want to run puppet agent with cron rather than its init script; How can i do this?

Answer 1

Running a Puppet agent with cron can sometimes perform better and use less memory. 

You can create this cron job with Puppet:

$ sudo puppet resource cron puppet-agent ensure=present user=root minute=30 command='/usr/bin/puppet agent --onetime --no-daemonize --splay'
