statement for each resource to be notified.A timer specifies the point during the Chef Client run at which a notification is run. The following timers are available:
:before
- Specifies that the action on a notified resource should be run before processing the resource block in which the notification is located.
:delayed
- Default. Specifies that a notification should be queued up, and then executed at the end of the Chef Client run.

A resource may listen to another resource, and then take action if the state of the resource being listened to changes. Specify a
'resource[name]'
, the:action
to be taken, and then the:timer

does not apply the specified action to the resource that it listens to - for example:file '/etc/nginx/ssl/example.crt' do mode '0600' owner 'root' end service 'nginx' do subscribes :reload, 'file[/etc/nginx/ssl/example.crt]', :immediately end
In this case the
subscribes
property reloads thenginx
service whenever its certificate file, located under/etc/nginx/ssl/example.crt
, is updated.subscribes
does not make any changes to the certificate file itself, it merely listens for a change to the file, and executes the:reload
action for its resource (in this examplenginx
) when a change is detected.A timer specifies the point during the Chef Client run at which a notification is run. The following timers are available:
:before
- Specifies that the action on a notified resource should be run before processing the resource block in which the notification is located.
:delayed
- Default. Specifies that a notification should be queued up, and then executed at the end of the Chef Client run.
:immediate
