Why this cookbook doesn't run the update-grub command when an update is applied?

[zedtux]

The cookbook work like a charm to update the /etc/default/grub file, but without running the update-grub command, the config is not applied.

I would like to know the reason for this (You should have a good one) and if you could tell how you're using this cookbook please?

The intention was likely to not apply changes to live machines and instead wait for their reboot cycle to apply the staged changes. If you want to run update-grub on live machines, you can probably setup an execute block with subscribes.

Thank you for your reply @rmcleod8 !

update-grub is just updating the setup, the reboot is still needed then. How are you handling that command in your "reboot cycle"? Do you have a kind of script which detects the update and run it before the reboot, or something like that?

@rmcleod8 a gentle reminder on this issue.
