Description

If I use a "generic variable definition" in a new cron entry, it is not expanded.
For example, this:

/usr/bin/barman backup ${generic_variable_definition.barmanhostname} >/dev/null 2>&1

results in a file containing:

/usr/bin/barman backup ${generic_variable_definition.barmanhostname} >/dev/null 2>&1

instead of, for example:

/usr/bin/barman backup test.local >/dev/null 2>&1
