[chef] chef-client cookbook - can I predict the next time chef-client will run automatically?

[Fabien Delpierre < >]

Hi folks,

I'm using the chef-client cookbook to manage a chef-client daemon that fires off Chef runs at semi regular intervals using the default values (interval = 1800, splay = 300). I was just wondering if there's any way to know ahead of time when the next run will happen.

For example, perhaps when a run occurs, the time until the next run is computed at that moment and stored in a place where I can find it to know how much time remains until the next run.

Thanks!
