[chef] Re: Running chef-client as a service

[Daniel DeLeo < >]

Ohai!
The bootstrap recipe uses the node[:chef][:init_style] attribute to
determine which init system to use:

http://github.com/opscode/cookbooks/blob/master/chef/recipes/bootstrap_client.rb#L31-63

It looks like upstart isn't supported yet, so I'd recommend creating
your own post-bootstrap recipe to configure chef to run via upstart.

HTH,
