Please update the Ansible automation to either use crontab directly (and let the shell find the correct binary) or specify /usr/bin/oge-crontab

(Sorry, only noticing this now − @Bstorm also contacted me by email regarding this)

I’m using locally a fork of the Ansible modules in order to use /usr/local/bin/crontab (also filed upstream at https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/59765)

I believe the crons are now going to the correct place ; please reopen if that’s mistaken :)
