This manages environment variables in Vixie crontabs.  It includes
addition/removal/replacement of variables and ordering via the
insertbefore/insertafter parameters.

# Cronvar Plugin: The goal of this plugin is to provide an indempotent
# method for set cron variable values. It should play well with the
# existing cron module as well as allow for manually added variables.
# Each variable entered will be preceded with a comment describing the
# variable so that it can be found later. This is required to be
# present in order for this plugin to find/modify the variable
#
# This module is based on the crontab module.

module: cronvar
short_description: Manage variables in crontabs
description:
- Use this module to manage crontab variables. This module allows
you to create, update, or delete cron variable definitions.
version_added: "2.0"
options:
name:
description:
- Name of the crontab variable.
default: null
required: true
value:
description:
- The value to set this variable to. Required if state=present.
required: false
default: null
insertafter:
required: false
default: null
description:
- Used with C(state=present). If specified, the variable will be inserted
after the variable specified.
insertbefore:
required: false
default: null
description:
- Used with C(state=present). If specified, the variable will be inserted
just before the variable specified.
state:
description:
- Whether to ensure that the variable is present or absent.
required: false
default: present
choices: [ "present", "absent" ]
user:
description:
- The specific user whose crontab should be modified.
required: false
default: root
cron_file:
description:
- If specified, uses this file in cron.d instead of an individual user's crontab.
required: false
default: null
backup:
description:
- If set, create a backup of the crontab before it is modified.
The location of the backup is returned in the C(backup) variable by this module.
required: false
default: false
requirements:
- cron
