ignore changes?

[Guy Matz]

Hi!  How do I tell cmd.run to not register a change, only a fail?

[Guy Matz]

Really?  Nothing?

[James Booth]

You’ll have to be a little clear in regards to what you want.

Do you want changes to appear as fails?

Thanks!!  No, I want to run a command as a sort of sanity check on the system, after my tasks have completed . . .  if the command fails, I would like for that to show up, but the command should not register as a change if ti succeeds.

Thank you!

I think you may have to wrap the cmd in a stateful script:

Sounds like you want something other than a cmd.run

send_error:

  smtp.send_msg:

    - name: It failed

    - subject: States failed

    - unless:

      - 'cmd that if failed you should be warned about'

    

https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/states/requisites.html#unless

https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/states/all/salt.states.smtp.html#salt.states.smtp.send_msg

You can also use check_cmd on an earlyer state to have that state show as failed if your command returns false

Salt conference is happening so people may be a little slow getting back with you.

But I'm not sure what you are asking.  Do you want the cmd.run to only run when it's required to run?  or are you wanting to suppress stdout?  Maybe it's statefulness you want?
