[chef] chef & hoptoad

[John Merrells < >]

Here's a fork of adam's hoptoad handler which I've made work with chef 0.9.6.
(I think adam's code must have been for an older or newer version of chef.)

http://github.com/merrells/chef-handler-hoptoad

To install it place the chef-handler-hoptoad.rb file in /etc/chef, and then 
add 
these two lines to client.rb

===================
require '/etc/chef/chef-handler-hoptoad'
exception_handlers << Chef::Handler::Hoptoad.new(:api_key=>XXX)
===================


Hoptoad will now start emailing exceptions to you... e.g....
