Hi,
what is the chef way for running apt-get update in a recipe?
for now I am using:
execute “apt_update” do
command "apt-get update"
action :run
end
I’m not sure what you’re goal is with that, but if it’s just to ensure that it’s run regularly, check out the Opscode apt cookbook: https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/apt
It ensures that apt-get update is run at least once per day.

Nothing wrong with an execute, but the apt cookbook will do this for you as
mentioned.
Then within any other resource def you can use notifies like:
notifies :run, resources(:execute => “apt-get update”), :immediately
Notice that it’s calling ‘apt-get update’ (no dash) and not
’apt-get-update’ (with dash), which is also defined in by the apt
cookbook.
