Thanks Jake, only problem is, the code will fail at compile time ( because during that time recipe hasn't created any folder yet) so when I try to say get my owner of that folder, it fails in compile time....

how can I make that ruby code to run after compile phase?

here is my code

list_of_dir_to_enforce.each do |d|

  uid = File.stat(d).uid

  current_owner =Etc.getpwuid(uid).name

  log "current owner is"+current_owner

    bash "do something on #{d} " do

    not_if current_owner=="medya"

  end

end

Aj, that is only for UID, that means I means I have to find out another way to find out Uid of a username which I couldn't find in ruby libraries

Hi Medya,

You can use File::Stat#uid
http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.2.1/File/Stat.html#method-i-uid

Please consider searching before sending questions like this to the
