Is there a way to make a recipe only write a template file if the file doesn’t exist or if the template has changed?

 

For instance, I have a recipe that generates zone files for bind based off of a list of domains in a data bag. However, on every chef-client run, it is regenerating the file, which is also regenerating the serial number.

 

Any assistance would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,
