[chef] Re: Powershell terminate chef-run

[Galen Emery < >]

I would use the chef reboot resource.

In short, put a guard on the powershell_script resource similar to your if statement[0]

And then I'd use a notifies[1] for the reboot resource[2]

[1]https://docs.chef.io/resource_common.html#notifications

[2]https://docs.chef.io/resource_reboot.html

This will end the chef run cleanly, rather than throwing an error at the end of the powershell.

Hi All,

 

I have a “Restart-computer -force” command as part of a powershell script inside a chef recipe, how do I terminate the chef-run at this point?

 

I have something like this:

 

  if ($computer_name -eq $new_name) {

 

     Write-host "Not changing the name as it is already set"

 

                … code here….

 

    

if ((gwmi win32_computersystem).partofdomain -eq $true) {

        write-host "I am domain joined, aborting!"

 

     }

 

     Else {

 

      Add-Computer -DomainName $domain -Credential $cred -force

 

      Restart-Computer -force --- how do I terminate the chef-run here?

 

     }

 

  }

 

  else {

 

      code here…..              

       

        Restart-Computer –force -- how do I terminate the chef-run here?

 

  }

 

EOH

 

Cheers,

Simon
