[chef] Re: node run list

[Ranjib Dey < >]

yes you can do it either  by

1) pre creating the node using `knife node create` , make sure the name of the node is either fqdn or the value of  -N [while boot strapping] or the node_name param in /etc/chef/client.rb

2) make a json file which contains the run list and  invoke the first chef run in your node with -j argument, -j /etc/chef/bootstrap/first-boot.json

this is the way standard knife boot strap works

Hi,

I was able to put the installation of a new chef client on a shell script to be executed after a new system installation. Now, what I want is that the first time this client/node runs it already has a run_list setup. Is it possible?

Thanks
