Is it possible to run chef-client from within a knife exec command?

Looking to update node attributes (derived from a cookbook) using knife exec. I'd like to trigger chef-client after that so the cookbook can make the corresponding updates on the node. Is it possible to trigger the check-in from the same knife exec block, or do I need a separate knife ssh call (or similar) in order to check the node in?

knife exec executes Ruby code on the Chef Server. Indeed, you need to log into the nodes and trigger chef-client, either through knife ssh, Chef Push Jobs, Rundeck, etc.
