[chef] Re: Help - Creating a "First Run Only" Resource

One good optional would be to have the recipe remove itself from the runlist; 
if you remove it at the end of the recipe and save the node, that's going to 
be pretty reliable.

Look at the application::rails recipe, IIRC it removes the migration recipe 
towards the end.
