The name of cookbook when adding to run_list

Hi

what is different between

knife node run_list add “ldap-server.ingdirect.intranet” template::default

and

knife node run_list add “ldap-server.ingdirect.intranet” template

does it mean something when adding a string after :: in cook book name ?

2

Yes it means to run a specific recipe in a cookbook.

So if you don't specify a recipe, then it runs just the default one?

That is selection of a recipe within the cookbook.

So when adding the extra string it will run the matching recipe file:

file: "cookbook/recipe.rb" = "cookbook::recipe"
file: "cookbook/default.rb" = "cookbook::default"
file: "cookbook/default.rb" = "cookbook"
