[chef] stopping recipe execution early

["Pitucha, Stanislaw Izaak" < >]

Hi all,
Is there some official (or at least working) way to stop execution of a
recipe early? (without affecting the rest of the run list)
For example if I have the whole recipe depending on a single switch, I could
just put it inside of:

if node[:switch]
  ....
end

but that would be spanning a couple of screens of code - not the cleanest
solution. Is there a good way to stop execution without throwing an
exception, so that I can do:

some_stop_function unless node[:switch]
