[chef] Re: Re: Re: Re: How to NOT run a complete recipe?

[Daniel DeLeo < >]

To skip to the end of the entire run without causing an error, you can `throw 
:end_client_run_early` which will jump up to here: 
https://github.com/chef/chef/blob/8f65f75b2ae48ed33cfce1853edcdcc1a949b9c3/lib/chef/client.rb#L648
  

This can definitely skip all kinds of reporting stuff, right now it’s 
primarily used to trigger a system restart when that is required for chef to 
continue to make progress converging the machine (as is common on windows).
