[chef] Re: Re: Re: Push Jobs Questions

[AJ Christensen < >]

You may be able to use the Quorum functionality to half-bake this [0]:

```
knife job start --quorum 90% 'chef-client' --search 'role:webapp'
```

The minimum number of nodes that match the search criteria, are
available, and acknowledge the job request. This can be expressed as a
percentage (e.g. 50%) or as an absolute number of nodes (e.g. 145).
Default value: 100%

I'd try values like 50% of your available foobars and see how it works
out for ya.

Good Luck!

cheers,
