Fix permissions issue with 'cron' module
I have a task like this in a playbook. The ansible_ssh_user is 'root' for this host. - cron: hour: 00 job: /home/backup/backup.sh name: baserock.org data backup user: backup Running it gave me the following error: TASK: [backup cron job, runs every day at midnight] *************************** failed: [baserock-backup1] => {"failed": true} msg: crontab: can't open '/tmp/crontabvVjoZe': Permission denied crontab: user backup cannot read /tmp/crontabvVjoZe The temporary file created by the 'cron' module is created with the Python tempfile.mkstemp() function. This creates a file that is readable only by 'root' (mode 600). The Busybox `crontab` program then checks if the file is readable by the 'backup' user, and fails if it isn't. So we need to make sure the file is world-readable before running `crontab`.
