James Cammarata c8376e296f Tweaking change to documentation language for cron name param 10 years ago

Matt Parker 6086c505fe Update cron documenation
The "name" parameter seems to be rather important as the identifying feature of a cron job.  This is an update to the documentation to further emphasize this.

Matt Parker 5accd15ba6 Name appears to be a required parameter
As far as I can tell, `name` is a required parameter.  The guard test at (now) line 458 says you need name if `state == present` and at 464 if `state != present`, although that's not quite as clear.  Each of the code paths at 485 - 495 pass the name param through to `add_job`, `update_job` and `remove_job`, and the actual _update_job method earlier seems to require it too.  However I don't really know python so I may be wrong, but I can't see the circumstances when `name` is not required.

Markus Amalthea Magnuson a58709ac1d Use correct parameter name in error message.
The parameter is called `cron_file` but the error message uses `file` which is confusing.

Michael Scherer 2a3ee8dbf4 make cron module work on solaris
Cron on solaris do not take the same
set of option than vixie cron on linux, and
among the biggest difference, root cannot set
the crontab of a user directly from a file. Thus the
use of su to run the crontab command. Fix issue #4648
