Hi all,

Using chef 0.10.4 (slightly out of date i know)

I would expect the following to start service mongodb as soon as the package 
is installed… but instead it wilfully ignored the notified directive, while 
installing the package

Anybody have any ideas?


case node['platform']
when "debian", "ubuntu"

  package "mongodb" do
    package_name "mongodb-10gen"
    notifies :start, "service[mongodb]", :immediately
  end

end

service "mongodb" do
  supports :restart => true, :status => true
  action :nothing
end
