[chef] Re: resource dependency for running bash

[Kannan Manickam < >]

Manoj,

You should use Resource Notifications (http://docs.opscode.com/resource_common.html#notifications) so the bash block resource gets executed only if the content of the remote file is changed. You can see samples in the page I mentioned above.

Hi All,

I have a recipe which copies a remote file and then run a shell script,

The issue is that even if there is no new file added in the remote location , when i run chef client it runs the bash script.

How do i add the dependency on that file resource for that bash script , so that the script is not run if the file copied is not a new one.

Thanks

Manoj
