/bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `)'
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file


Expected results:
Nothing

Additional info:

The crontab installed is 
1 0 * * * sleep $(($(od -A n -t d -N 3 /dev/urandom) % 86400)) && ceilometer-expirer

From here https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2497621 we suppose to get this

1 0 * * * sleep $(($(od -A n -t d -N 3 /dev/urandom) \% 86400)) && ceilometer-expirer

In the puppet file you must add two "/"
