[chef] Re: Re: notifies :before

Thank you for your reply. I understand how notifies work, I was just wondering if there was an elegant way to notify resources _before_ running current resource.

I know you could do it with chaining resources through notify, but that smells a bit.

I found an issue asking the same question:

you define what service does in one snippet and you set notify stuff in other snippet

I was wondering if someone had more elegant ideas for making resources notify another resource _before_ running itself.

I’d want something like this:

file 'foo’ do

  content ‘bar'

  notifies :stop, ‘service[foobar]', :before

  notifies :start, ‘service[foobar]’, :immediately

end

I realise this is possible with chaining resources. But I was wondering if there were more elegant solutions.
