salt.states.module

Execution of Salt modules from within states.

Individual module calls can be made via states. to call a single module function use the run function.

One issue exists, since the name and fun arguments are present in the state call data structure and is present in many modules, this argument will need to be replaced in the sls data with the arguments m_name and m_fun.

salt.states.module.mod_watch(name, **kwargs)

Run a single module function

name

The module function to execute

returner

Specify the returner to send the return of the module execution to

**kwargs

Pass any arguments needed to execute the function

salt.states.module.run(name, **kwargs)

Run a single module function

name

The module function to execute

returner

Specify the returner to send the return of the module execution to

**kwargs

Pass any arguments needed to execute the function

salt.states.module.wait(name, **kwargs)

Run a single module function only if the watch statement calls it

name

The module function to execute

**kwargs

Pass any arguments needed to execute the function

Note that this function actually does nothing -- however, if the watch is satisfied, then mod_watch (defined at the bottom of this file) will be run. In this case, mod_watch is an alias for run().
