[chef] notify a resource when a service is *restarted* (only) ?

[Jeff Blaine < >]

What options do we have for (in real-time, not in a report handler)
generically notifying a resource when (for one example) a service was
restarted?

I'm wanting this, and certainly don't want to embed the code in
~hundreds of init scripts' "restart" code.

my_send_metric 'thing' do
  action :nothing
  metric 'thing.restarted'
  value '1'
end

service 'whatever' do
  action :nothing
  notifies_ONLY_ON_RESTART :run, 'my_send_metric[thing]', :immediately
end

cookbook_file '/etc/whatever.conf' do
  notifies :restart, 'service[whatever]', :immediately
end

Possible at all currently?
