Title
Body
Im not sure I understand Chef conditional execution. I'd like to do some conditional execution based on whether or not a database exists in Postgresql So here's my example execute "add_db" do cwd "/tmp" user "dbuser" command "createdb -T template_postgis mydb" not_if 'psql --list|grep mydb' end Running psql --list|grep mydb return what you would expect if the db exists (the line with the dbname entry) and nothing at all if it doesnt. So how does not_if only evaluate that? True or false? 1 or 0? Dont all processes return 0 if they are successful? Anywho any advice would be greatly appreciated!
