Is there a definitive way of querying the chef server to see if a chef-client run is occurring on a node? We've noticed that a "knife status" will return a timestamp of "382528 hours ago", or however many hours you are away from epoch, and but it's not entirely consistent and using that in code feels like a bit of a hack. Ideally I'd like an API to return true or false if a chef-client run is occurring. Thoughts?

cheers
