I want to accomplish two things: 1) clean out any pointless pid files (if elasticsearch is not running) and then start it, and 2) check that ES has started up before proceeding
Now between what Chef offers out-of-box and what Ruby allows, I can only figure out a pseudo-code like syntax for making it happen but its not going to run so I need some help/advice writing the real thing.
Pseudo-Code For (1):
bash "start it up" do
user "root"
only_if { # pretty sure this syntax is all incorrect, any ideas to make it happen?
(sudo service elasticsearch status).match(/^elasticsearch not running/)
}
code <<-EOS
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/var/run/elasticsearch/*.pid
sudo service elasticsearch restart
EOS
end
Pseudo-Code For (2):
bash "wait for it to start up" do
user "root"
only_if { # pretty sure this syntax is all incorrect, any ideas to make it happen?
(sudo service elasticsearch status).match(/^elasticsearch running with PID/)
}
retries 20
retry_delay 5
code <<-EOS
echo "I can now go on with my life..."
EOS
end
