[chef] Writing a Start Handler

[Douglas Garstang < >]

I'm trying to write a start handler. I've managed to get

start_handlers << Chef::Reporting::StartHandler.new()

into the client.rb file. Obviously, I need to change the details. Now, I'm reading http://docs.getchef.com/handlers.html and under the 'Reporting' section it talks about how to install the handler, but it doesn't say where the start_handler.rb file goes.

Does it go in a cookbook? This would seem to be a problem to me as the handler needs to be deployed before chef runs.
