Chef cookbook - reload PATH

Question

I just installed java using chef cookbook and updated PATH environment variable for all users (added new file to /etc/profile.d/).

Is it possible to tell chef to rel

Answer 1

I found that it is not possible to update ENV variables pemanently (to be available after chef finishes), but it is possible to update variables for future commands of current chef run.

ruby_block  "set-env-" do
  block { ENV[variable_name] = variable_value }
  not_if { ENV[variable_name] == variable_value }
end
