hi group,
I have tried to expand a variable (‘environment’ in this case) inside a cron job specification, but it does not seem to be possible.
ansible version 1.7.2
environment is a keyword in ansible, it is not a good idea to use as a
variable name.
hi Brian,
it is always heart warming to see that problems that seem so big can have such simple solutions. Hopefully this applies to everyday life too. I will take a closer look on that… 
thanks a lot, Ruud
