Chef_Client_Updater 3.0.3 exit error about chef_client_updater HOT 8 CLOSED

It seems to me that the kill function does not work with the redhat 5x 6x ?

from chef_client_updater.

The kill behavior is not supposed to automatically restart chef. That task is left to the service manager, which on RHEL 5/6 does NOT restart chef for you. You will need to use an external process monitor to restart chef on these systems. There is a note about this in the Readme reproduced below:

Init System Caveats
When Chef runs as a service under a system init daemon such as Sys-V or systemd each chef run forks off from the main chef-client process being managed by the init system. For a chef-client upgrade to occur the running chef-client as well as the parent process must be killed, and a new chef-client must start using the updated binaries. This cookbook handles killing the chef-client, but your init system must properly handle starting the service back up. For systemd and upstart this can be handled via configuration, and chef-client cookbook 8.1.1 or later handles this by default. This functionality is not available in sys-v (RHEL 6, Debian 7, and others), so you will need to employ a secondary process such as a monitoring system to start the chef-client service.

The cookbook in version 2.0.3 works perfectly in all redhat versions.

I'm not one of the maintainers, so I can't speak for them, but typically incrementing the first number in a version string indicates breaking changes, so you should expect version 3 to work differently than version 2. All I can tell you is that this cookbook is documented to work the way you've described, so you should either stick to using the version you know works or use this version as it is documented.

Thank you for your help I will wait for the response of the dev.

thank you

you can use :exec if it works. if it does not work, i don't have a solution.
