[chef] Chef-client daemon terminates when change interval

[Christine Draper < >]

I'm having a problem with a node where chef-client stops running after I change its interval.

It seems this is being caused by the fact that I have a resource being executed after the chef-client is restarted. 

I reproduced the problem with the following:

run_list: chef-client, automateinsights::test

Where test.rb is: 

# Start the service

service "automateinsights" do

  provider Chef::Provider::Service::Upstart

  supports :restart => true, :start => true, :stop => true

  action [:restart]

end

# run the delayed command

execute "after restart" do

  command "echo delayed command"

  action :nothing

  subscribes :run, "service[automateinsights]"

end

Any change to chef_client.interval causes the chef-client daemon to terminate.

Any suggestions for how I can avoid this problem?  What the runlist is actually doing is deploying an application, restarting the service, and then running some automated regression tests on it (the delayed command). 

Thanks!
