Enhancement request: cron.present - change default identifier to UUID

[udf2457]

At the moment the identifier variable in cron.present defaults to name.

name being "The command that should be executed by the cron job."

Unfortunatley the logic in SaltStack does not appear to be intelligent enough to deal with changes in the command to be executed in cron.

This results in a default behaviour of a second entry being made in cron for the "new" job, and the "old" job being left in place. This is very much undesireable default behaviour for obvious reasons !

It seems to me that a sensible solution to the problem is to default identifier to a UUID instead of name.

SaltStack is the company the product is Salt so of course the logic of the company does very little, here. A common misconception on the name, tagging for review of future feature work.
