Is often seen but still wrong and it won't work as expected. A file glob returns a list of files (or the glob itself if no file of that pattern exists).You can't use it as input to a test -f.

The Chef Client is where almost all of the work in Chef is done. It communicates with the Chef Server via REST, authenticates via Signed Header Authentication, and compiles and executes Cookbooks. A Chef Client does work on behalf of a Node. A single Chef Client can run recipes for multiple Nodes. Clients are where all the action happens - the Chef Server and Chef Expander are largely services that exist only to provide the Client with information. SEE ALSO
