Ansible Playbook to add script to Cron.monthly (or whatever) in Redhat/CentOS

This playbook will add the script “myscript.sh” to the target machine(s) “/etc/cron.monthly” directory thereby having it run each month by cron. You can simply change the location to have it go into one of the other cron.x locations. I’ve used ansible version “ansible 1.9.4”.
