[chef] RE: Re: RE: How to tell when recipes fail?

[Paul Choi < >]

Ah, you are right, sir... Monday brain fart on my part. :) What I have been 
meaning to do is... write a reporter cookbook, which is run at the end of a 
cookbook, where it does an HTTP POST to Chef's data bags, and can be parsed 
for status.

Thanks for the feedback.

That's definitely useful, but (correct me if I'm wrong) only ensures that the 
chef-client daemon is still running ... not that the recipes actually apply 
without error.
