ntpdate Cookbook
Installs ntpdate
and configures it to run as a scheduled job.(Although it later uses the ntpdate-debian
binary, see man ntpdate
).
The reason for this one may found after struggling to sync the time via NTP daemon without exposing the external network interface to the world.
By default the cookbook will remove NTP package (if installed).
Requirements
Nothing really special. It depends on the opscode's cron cookbook in order to lay the cronjob.
Attributes
Key | Type | Description | Default |
---|---|---|---|
['ntpdate']['enable'] | Boolean | enable or disable ALL actions | true |
['ntpdate']['use_ntp_config'] | String | whether to use the ntp.conf file config | 'no' |
['ntpdate']['config_folder'] | String | Where lays the config file | '/etc/default' |
['ntpdate']['config_file'] | String | Config file name | 'ntpdate' |
['ntpdate']['ntp_servers'] | StringArray | Which time servers to sync from | %w(pool.ntp.org) |
['ntpdate']['ntp_options'] | String | Additional options for ntpdate | nil |
['ntpdate']['package_name'] | StringArray | Which packages to install | %w(ntpdate) |
['ntpdate']['crontab_file'] | String | Crontab file name to create in /etc/cron.d directory | ntpdate |
['ntpdate']['ntp_pkg_remove'] | Boolean | Defines if the NTP packet should be removed | true |
['ntpdate']['ntp_pkg_name'] | String | NTP Package name | ntp |
For the [:ntpdate][:crontab]
directives check the cron cookbook from opscode.
Usage
ntpdate::default
{ "name":"my_node", "ntpdate": { "ntp_servers": %w{ntp1.somedomain.com ntp2.somedomain.com}, "crontab": { "comment": "This Cron sets time on Sundays at 6:00 O'clock", "minute": "0", "hour": "6", "day": "7" } }, "run_list": [ "recipe[ntpdate]" ] }
disabling ALL actions
but leaving the recipe in run_list() and the role configuration (sometimes is useful). This will remove all the configuration files the cookbook normally creates but will leave the packages as they are (actual stand).
{ "name":"my_node", "ntpdate": { "enable": false "ntp_servers": %w{ntp1.somedomain.com ntp2.somedomain.com}, "crontab": { "comment": "This Cron sets time on Sundays at 6:00 O'clock", "minute": "0", "hour": "6", "weekday": "sun" } }, "run_list": [ "recipe[ntpdate::default]" ] }
