[chef] Re: notifications / subscribe: different cookbook

[AJ Christensen < >]

The resource for the template needs to be created before the service
is instantiated, using that syntax for subscribes.

If you use the newer syntax, this restriction does not apply e.g.;

subscribes :create, "template[#{node['pam_limits']['config']}]",
:immediately # I think this will work

It looks like you're missing the 'include_recipe' that creates the
node['pam_limits']['config'] template, anyway..

Cheers,

AJ
