Not sure which edition you have, but the 2nd edition is a complete rewrite and covers much more than the 1st edition.

It's surely not an in-depth definitive Chef guide, instead it covers a broad range of the whole Chef / Ruby / Vagrant / Berkshelf / Testing frameworks ecosystem which is great in its own (but maybe not what you are specifically asking for ;-))

We've noticed that a "knife status" will return a timestamp of "382528 hours ago", or however many hours you are away from epoch, and but it's not entirely consistent and using that in code feels like a bit of a hack. Ideally I'd like an API to return true or false if a chef-client run is occurring. Thoughts?

How much of this makes it into the open source version and when is an open question at this point, but you could use a custom event dispatcher to track the state of clients in a similar way by integrating with a different system.
