Does chef integrate with any exception notification services... like hoptoad?

As I'm writing new recipes I make mistakes that cause chef-client's to barf

and I only find out about it by going and looking at the log. It'd be nice if the

exception could be forwarded to me the same way that my application level

code does it.

How are you folks dealing with this issue?

It doesn't as of yet, although we have plans to support this.  If you
want hoptoad support right now, this will do it:

Ah... that catches exceptions when the chef-client dies, but actually I want to

catch the exceptions from the recipe. It looks like the chef-client catches those

and reports them. Is there an easy way to wrap all the recipes with toadhopper?
