+<p>A run-list is an ordered list of roles and/or recipes that are run in an exact order. A run-list is always specific to the node on which it runs, though it is possible for many nodes to have run-lists that are similar or even identical. The items within a run-list are maintained using Knife and are uploaded to the server and stored as part of the node object for each node. The chef-client always configures a node in the exact order specified by its run-list and will never run the same recipe twice.</p>

+<p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">run_list</span> <span class="pre">remove</span></tt> argument is used to remove run list items (roles or recipes) from a node. A recipe must be in one of the following formats: fully qualified, cookbook, or default. Both roles and recipes must be in quotes, for example: <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">'role[ROLE_NAME]'</span></tt> or <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">'recipe[COOKBOOK::RECIPE_NAME]'</span></tt>. Use a comma to separate roles and recipes when removing more than one, like this: <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">'recipe[COOKBOOK::RECIPE_NAME],COOKBOOK::RECIPE_NAME,role[ROLE_NAME]'</span></tt>.</p>

+<p>where <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;attribute_name&gt;</span></tt> is something like kernel or platform.
