[chef] Re: Check if recipe is being used

which version of of chef you are using? chef stores all recipe name used by a node in an attribute named 'recipes'. you can look into that

knife search node '*:*' -a recipes | grep 'name of recipe'

Is there a way to tell if a recipe from a cookbook that I wrote is being used
by some other cookbook, or role?  Trying to do some maintenance on our Chef

multiple roles and environments so searching through it manually is a bit time
consuming.
