Title: RE: [chef] define same service multiple times

I'm not sure exactly what happens, but you can sidestep the issue simply by using two different resource names, and specifying the actual service name with the service_name attribute.

Subject: [chef] define same service multiple times

what happens if i define the same service multiple times across recipes?

for example:
i define it once just so i can have it restart if a template changes (but in that recipe i do not enable or start it)

i define it again in another recipe to enable and start it.

do these multiple definitions get merged somehow? what if they conflict?

thanks! koert
