[chef] stop service / config file change / start service

[Steven Parkes < >]

Sorry if this is covered elsewhere, but I'm wondering if there is/shouldn't 
be a way to stop a service before making config file changes, rather than 
restarting afterwards.

An example is networking: I want to stop it using the old config and then 
start it with the new config. Otherwise, it gets confused because the number 
of interfaces may have changed. Doing a stop with the new config file is not 
the same thing as doing a stop with the old config.

Unless there's another/better way to do this ...
