[chef] Foce Exit Cleanly

["Moser, Kevin" < >]

Have a use case where I want to let a node compile and then converge to a 
specific point in the resource collection and if that specific resource is 
hit (driven by compile time whether it gets put on the collection) I would 
like to basically "fast forward to the end" and not run any more resources.

I can do this with an error end by calling Chef::Application.exit!  or 
Chef::Application.fatal! in a ruby_block resource but am wondering if there 
is a more elegant way to do this that doesn't cause a SystemExit error to be 
thrown and basically tells Chef to stop processing and move to the handlers.

It would basically have to be an exit point in the execute_each_resource 
method but not sure if such an exit point exists or if the SystemExit 
approach is the only way?

Thanks!
