[chef] Re: Re: Question - only if your configuration files are changed

[Spike Grobstein < >]

I've often wondered this myself. I currently keep one backup of the config 
and restart only if the current and the backup differ, but its incredibly 
hacky and doesn't work if you put a "configured by chef" time stamp at the 
top. 

It doesn't appear that that recipe only restarts if the file is changed. Or 
am I missing something?
