[chef] Re: Using notify to run a recipe

[Ranjib Dey < >]

what does recipe[pre_inst] do? Is there any particular reason you can not include pre_inst (or vice versa) and notify specific resources from pre_inst? Given that you can have multiple notification there may be a cleaner solution.

Hi,

Is it possible to make a resource notify, (and thus run) an entire recipe.

For example:
  I wish to upgrade a package, but it depends on certain resources being executed - either before or after the package installation.

Is it possible to do something like:

package "application" do
  action :upgrade
  notifies recipe[pre_inst]
end

?

thanks
