Thanks Jesse,

the chef client works fine since i did a work around for this by changing permission on /etc/chef,  it runs and shows its working as expected in the logs but somehow the recipe gets applied only on one

may be its the recipe, 

Thanks

You probably want to run  “sudo chef-client “  unless you are logging in as root.

Hi Chefs,

Thanks

Hi All,

I am facing a weird issue , i am not sure whats wrong.

This is what i am trying to do ,

* from all the chef slaves find slaves which has one particular role applied 

* run chef-client -o "recipe[xyz]" on those servers.

below is the command i run , The issue i face is the recipe gets applied on randomly on some servers and does not do anything on the other servers .... and this is random.... 

Is there anything i am missing here or anything i can do to enhance this.

 knife ssh "role:billing-qa-machine" "chef-client -o recipe[$product]" -x user -P password

Thanks

Manoj
