Hi chefs :-)

Another best practice request:

Some cookbook recipes are designed for a generic case. I would like to have as less changes to them as possible.
At the moment I'm thinking about the problem of start/restart actions.

lets say we use a recipe to install/configure a service. during converge it gets a action start or restart and
does that with a delayed notification. fine.

now I know that I have a dependency on that service and want to ensure that (e.g. in the very last recipe on that node)
the service receives a :restart :immediately but does pop the whatever :restart/:start from its delayed actions.

How would I implement that?
