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.

Your best bet is to use some knowledge about what the script actually does to guard against it running when not needed, and code this into a `not_if`, `only_if` or `creates` parameter on the bash resource itself. See: http://docs.opscode.com/resource_common.html

 

Thanks
