Ensuring that the right vimrc is sent out to the correct minions.
Setting Pillar Data on the Command Line
=======================================
Pillar data can be set on the command line like so:
.. code-block:: bash
salt '*' state.highstate pillar='{"foo": "bar"}'
The ``state.sls`` command can also be used to set pillar values via the command
line:
.. code-block:: bash
salt '*' state.sls my_sls_file pillar='{"hello": "world"}'
Lists can be passed in pillar as well:
.. code-block:: bash
salt '*' state.highstate pillar='["foo", "bar", "baz"]'
.. note::
If a key is passed on the command line that already exists on the minion,
the key that is passed in will overwrite the entire value of that key,
rather than merging only the specified value set via the command line.
