[chef] Re: Chef client service - intervals

[Alex Vinyar < >]

Hi Ganesan, cookbooks are driven by attribute files. To modify the timer make change to the default.rb attrib file located in the attribute subfolder of the cookbook. The best way to make changes to a community cookbook is to create a "wrapper cokbook". That way you won't have to fork the existing chef-client cookbook and get stuck maintaining it.

Simply create a new cookbook. In the attribute file of your new cookbook add a value for your attribute: default['chef_client']['interval'] = '234567'

In the recipe of your wrapper cookbook add: include_recipe 'chef-client'

Cheers,

hi,

I installed the chef-client as chef client service(Window service) in windows
2008 R2 machine. The default interval time to run chef-client is 1800 secs(30
Min). I need to change the interval time as per my needs like daily twice or
weekly twice it is possible?? k means where i want to change the
configuration???



I already tried with changes in interval time  in

C:\opscode\chef\embedded\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\chef-11.12.2-x86-mingw32\lib\chef\application\windows_service.rb
file

any other place or any option  for daily twice or weekly twice it is possible??



Thanks,
