This resource mirrors the configuration of other `chef_client_*` resources and allows for simple out of the box configuration of the daemon, while also providing advanced tuneables. If you've used the `chef-client` cookbook in the past, you'll notice a number of improvements in the new resource including configuration update handling, splay times support, process nice level support, and an out of the box configuration of low IO priority execution.

With these change you'll now see the same logging output when you run `chef-client` on the command line as you will in logs from a daemonized client run. This also corrects often confusing behavior where running `chef-client` on the command line would log to the console, but not to the log file location defined your `client.rb`. In that scenario you'll now see logs in your console and in your log file. We believe this is the expected behavior and will mean that your on-disk log files can always be the source of truth for changes that were made by Chef Infra Client. This may cause unexpected behavior changes for users that relied on using the command line flags to override the `client.rb` log location - in this case logging will be sent to *both* the locations in `client.rb` and on the command line. If you have daemons running that log using the command line options you want to make sure that `client.rb` log location either matches or isn't defined. +We've made low-level changes to how logging behaves in Chef Infra Client that resolves many complaints we've heard of the years.
