Creating crontab via Capistrano instead of using crontab -e
capistrano, cron, ruby
Solution
On my linux box
crontab -u userName -l > fileName
lists the crontab file for userName in fileName.
Then I would use a ruby (or another language) script to update the file.
Finally I would use
crontab -u userName fileName
to update the crontab for userName
Problem
I would like to include cron tasks in my Capistrano deployment files instead of using the following command to manually edit the crontab file: ``` crontab -e [username] ``` Is there a script I could use within the Capistrano run command to set the contents of the crontab?
