[chef] Re: wait attribute for execute resource

[Adam Jacob < >]

Maybe wait_for rather than if? Also, going to need to control timeout for the wait to avoid deadlocks.

Hi,

What do you think about another attribute for the execute resource?

It's wait or while.

Some processes as virsh start is async.

Using second execute resource is not short.

Example:

execute "virsh shutdown #{ name }" do
   only_if "virsh domstate #{ name } | grep -c running"
end

execute "while virsh domstate #{ name } | grep -q running ; do : ; done"

but with new attribute it could be

execute "virsh shutdown #{ name }" do
   only_if "virsh domstate #{ name } | grep -c running"

   wait_if  "virsh domstate #{ name } | grep -q running"

end
