salt-call
Synopsis
salt-call [options]Description
The salt-call command is used to run module functions locally on a
minion instead of executing them from the master. Salt-call is used to
run a Standalone Minion <tutorial-standalone-minion>,
and was originally created for troubleshooting <troubleshooting-minion-salt-call>.
The Salt Master is contacted to retrieve state files and other
resources during execution unless the --local option is
specified.
Note
salt-call commands execute from the current user's shell
context, while salt commands execute from the system's
default context.
