Hi,

My chef code below

===============================================================================
execute “create directory BESClient” do
command “mkdir /etc/opt/BESClient && chmod 777 /etc/opt/BESClient”
end

remote_file ‘Download Remote File’ do
path ‘/etc/opt/BESClient/BESAgent-9.5.4.38-rhe5.x86_64.rpm’
source ‘ftp://9.0.0.0/pub/bigfix/BESAgent-9.5.4.38-rhe5.x86_64.rpm’
mode ‘0644’
action :create
end

execute “rpm -i /etc/opt/BESClient/BESAgent-9.5.4.38-rhe5.x86_64.rpm” do
command “bash -c ‘rpm -i /etc/opt/BESClient/BESAgent-9.5.4.38-rhe5.x86_64.rpm’”
end

remote_file ‘Download Remote File’ do
path ‘/etc/opt/BESClient/ActionSite.afxm’
source ‘ftp://9.0.0.0/pub/bigfix/ActionSite.afxm’
mode ‘0644’
action :create
end

execute “/etc/init.d/besclient start” do
command “bash -c ‘/etc/init.d/besclient start’”
end

Executing syntax

execute “/etc/init.d/besclient start” do
command “bash -c ‘/etc/init.d/besclient start’”
end

Error:

As per the chef instruction nun of the files are created

Just make sure you are creating service file at /etc/init.d/besclient.

You can also try
service ‘besclient’ do
action :nothing
end

and then notify from the block where you are creating /etc/init.d/besclient.
ex.
notifies :restart, “service[besclient]”, :immediately

Redeployed again its working good
