10.2.2. Executing Commands on Minions
As soon as minions are connected, you can execute commands on them from the master:
master#
salt ’*’ test.ping
kali-scratch:
True
kali-master:
True
This command asks all minions (the ’*’ is a wildcard targeting all minions) to execute the ping
function from the test execution module. This function returns a True value on success and is a
simple way to ensure that the connection is working between the master and the various minions.
You can also target a specific minion by giving its identifier in the first parameter, or possibly
a subset of minions by using a less-generic wildcard (such as ’*-scratch’ or ’kali-*’). Here is an
example of how to execute an arbitrary shell command on the kali-scratch minion:
master#
salt kali-scratch cmd.shell ’uptime; uname -a’
kali-scratch:
05:25:48 up 44 min,
2 users,
load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.05
