Here's some previous discussion http://lists.opscode.com/sympa/arc/chef/2013-02/msg00337.html

Hi there,

I need to do in-place file editing of config files using Chef. For now, i could

see that we can append data to the config files using the "bash" resource. But,

i need to change specific variables in config files using Chef.

I could see that there's a handy tool called augeas in puppet that clearly

performs the above requirement. But, i couldn't come up with anything in Chef.

So, is there any way this could be done in Chef?

Thanks in advance.
