cookbook_file update

Chef Infra (archive)
1

Hi,

I am working on a cookbook that will only run an action if a cookbook_file
changes. I see the action create_if_missing, is there something similar like
create_if_updated? Or is there something else, and I am completely missing it?

Thanks for your help in advance,

Geoff

can you explain a bit more? action :create will update the file whenever
its changed, and its also the default action iirc

Thanks Daniel! I do have these in the code. I made the mistake of not
replying to the list last night, but I think I figured this out.

It appears a directory was being deleted, and then recreated. So it was
forcing jetty to restart each chef run.

Thanks again for all the help.
