[chef] Re: Re: node reboot in a chef recipe

[Jacobo García < >]

Nothing special needed,

I have the belief that a server reboot in between a chef-run could be harmful. I will delay the reboot at the end of the chef run at least.

Thanks for your help.

Brian had it pretty much covered. Nothing "special" is required.

If you need a bit more "coordinated" reboot, the Webster-Clay guys
created something called "dominodes" that uses a data bag as a mutex
for coordination:
