 This `cat` command, will be run at compile time and the cookbook_file
 resource above will be run (later) at converge/execution time.

http://docs.opscode.com/essentials_nodes_chef_run.html

 If you want to read the new values you will need to read them at
 converge time, perhaps using the ruby_block resource:

http://docs.opscode.com/resource_ruby_block.html

 You can also run cookbook_file at compile time using #run_action
 method, but this can a be a bit tricky.
