[chef] Re: chefonic way to do apt-get update

[Larry Wright < >]

I'm not sure what you're goal is with that, but if it's just to ensure that it's run regularly, check out the Opscode apt cookbook: https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/apt

It ensures that apt-get update is run at least once per day.

Hi,

what is the chef way for running apt-get update in a recipe?

for now I am using:

execute "apt_update" do

command "apt-get update"

action :run

end
