[chef] Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: command to run only part of run list one a node

If you want, for just one run, to use a custom run_list, you can use the -o option to chef-client:

    -o RunlistItem,RunlistItem...,   Replace current run list with specified items

        --override-runlist

If this is more permanent, code whatever logic determines whether the given recipes need to run into a cookbook:

if should_run_this_recipe?

  include_recipe "some_cookbook::some_recipe"

end

Out of curiosity, what's your motivation? Are these recipes slow and you don't want to waste the time?

But both these roles will be added to the node and will be run when I run chef-client

You can probably setup roles and add all 5 recipe on one role and have 3 recipes on the second role

Thanks for the help ,

The idea is that I have 5

Recipes I wanted to run on one node but also want a way where I can run 3 out of these 5 if required and not run all 5 all the time

Thanks

Set the run_list on the node to include the three cookbooks/recipes that you want to run. See <http://docs.opscode.com/essentials_node_object_run_lists.html> and <http://docs.opscode.com/knife_node.html#run-list-add>.
