Body
I'm learning chef at the moment and I'm trying to write everything in a way that repeated provisioning doesn't break anything. I have a server that is deployed on the machine and then there is some code loaded into it. The next time of provisioning I like to test first if the code has been loaded already. And I want to do it in a generic way because I use it in different recipes. My idea would be to define a function/defintion/etc.. I can call the function which tests the condition and returns a value. My hopes would be that I can use this function/... in a not_if clause for other actions. Is there a way to do this in chef with a defintion/action/provider/... or would I need to add some rubyish stuff somewhere?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
