[chef] Re: Re: Re: Printing command output

I sometimes use Tom Weiss’ technique from this thread so I’m not buried by debug output:

I've found older mailing list questions about this and things on SO but they mostly point to setting chef logging to debug which is not what I want.

You could use ruby_block resources before and after the execute to set/reset the log level I think.
