[chef] Re: Re: chef recipe does not fail on bash resource

[Manoj Thakkar < >]

Thanks Andy,

It helped, The tricky part is if the bash script fails the cookbook file attribute will not run in next time since the file is the same so the bash resource will not run also.

How do i make bash script run if it failed last time ? is there a feature ? or may be i shall throw a file output check the status is that file and rerun bash script no matter what.

Thanks

Manoj

The shell script always completes successfully because the last
command, echo, works. You probably want to put...

"set -e"

... at the beginning which will case bash to exit when it firsts
encounters an error.
