Running a script directly from the master on the minion

[Stephen Wood]

Is there a way to run a script from the master on a minion as part of the sls file?

Right now the SLS looks like this:

/usr/local/sbin/my_script:

  file:

    - managed

    - mode: 700

    - source: salt://scripts/my_script

bash /usr/local/sbin/my_script:

  cmd.run:

    - require:

      - file: /usr/local/sbin/my_script

Also note I had to append "bash" to run the ID for the script, or else I get warnings for duplicate IDs. Is there a better way to accomplish this type of thing?

You can do this:

    Replace "/usr/local/sbin/my_script" with "my_script" and add a "- name" parameter of: "/usr/local/sbin/my_script"

  Replace "bash /usr/local/sbin/my_script" with "run_my_script" and add the script name as the "- name" parameter.

I don't understand the first part of your question; this should definitely copy the script to the minion and execute it there.

Sorry I wasn't more clear. I thought there would be a way to collapse the two commands into a single one. Instead of downloading it first to the host, and then execute it. I don't want to file to actually exist on the minion after execution. Any ideas?

Thanks for the tip on giving it a name. That greatly helps with ID conflicts!

I think cmd.run allows a source arg. You'll have to check the docs.

Just remove it after execution with 'file.absent' state. :)

I think what you're looking for is the `cmd.script` state:  http://docs.saltstack.com/ref/states/all/salt.states.cmd.html#salt.states.cmd.script
