This example is taken from [`molecule/default/converge.yml`](https://github.com/robertdebock/ansible-role-cron/blob/master/molecule/default/converge.yml) and is tested on each push, pull request and release.
```yaml
---
- name: Converge
hosts: all
become: true
gather_facts: trueroles:
- role: robertdebock.cron
cron_jobs:
- name: my_job
# Every 10 minutes
minute: "*/10"
# In the 23rd hour.
hour: 23
# For the first part of the month.
day: "1-15"
# Run "ls -l"
job: "ls -l"
# For a specific user
user: root
```The machine needs to be prepared. In CI this is done using [`molecule/default/prepare.yml`](https://github.com/robertdebock/ansible-role-cron/blob/master/molecule/default/prepare.yml):
```yaml
---
- name: Prepare
hosts: all
become: true
gather_facts: falseroles:
- role: robertdebock.bootstrap
```Also see a [full explanation and example](https://robertdebock.nl/how-to-use-these-roles.html) on how to use these roles.
## [Role Variables](#role-variables)
The default values for the variables are set in [`defaults/main.yml`](https://github.com/robertdebock/ansible-role-cron/blob/master/defaults/main.yml):
```yaml
---
# defaults file for cron# The shell to use for running cronjobs.
cron_shell: /bin/bash# The path to set for running jobs.
cron_path: /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin# The address where mails should be sent to.
cron_mailto: root
