I'm using the community chef client cookbook with the following recipes:

include_recipe "chef-client::init_service"
include_recipe "chef-client::config"

When my instance boots up, I'm running chef initially from a script, not as a daemon. This is due to the recent change, where, when running as a daemon, the client doesn't start immediately, but seems to wait some arbitrary amount of time before doing a run. On a newly booted instance, this makes no sense.

After the cookbook rewrites the config file, it wants to rerun the client again. I guess this is because the config file resource tells the service to restart on update. Bottom line, when my initial chef-client runs, it runs again, a second time. I'd like this not to happen.
