When is it appropriate to use shellout in a recipe instead of bash blocks or execute? I'm inclining to using it by default for all outside calls, because of its logging, but the verbosity of the command are a disadvantage.

Use Shellout
When you need to get the result of the command to use elsewhere
Use
scriptand childrenWhen you want Chef to execute the code for you.
Shellout is not a replacement to
script/executeblocks. They also execute at different times during the Chef Client run. Shellout is a Ruby thing, whereasscript/executeare Chef resources liketemplate. There is a lot of safety and cross-platform support wrapped in these resources that you won't get with Shellout.
