[chef] Re: RE: Re: override argument

You want to use -o when you want to run something that is not assigned in the nodes run list or role. So say I have a base role, and I have a new recipe that I would like to test/run. I use chef-client -o "recipe[openssh]", this will run this recipe only once and then revert back to the nodes run list and will only run base.

HI,

 

Thank you Indra. I am aware of the feature. I am just wondering if it’s safe to use –o or is it really only for testing.

Hi Flo,
 
        Ya, it gets run.
chef-client -o "recipe[something]"
 

the above command runs a chef-client with given runlist .

You can also refer this  by

"chef-client -h"    ---which shows a what are all parameters we can run with chef-client.

Thanks,
Indra

Hi,

 

What is the contract for the –o argument on chef-client? Can I expect that the only thing that changes between running ‘chef-client’ and ‘chef-client –o “recipe[something]”’, is the recipes that will get run?
