使用python重新启动Minion

Question

Is there any way to restart minions with python code? using local.cmd('*', 'cmd.run', ['net stop salt-minion']). Will shutting down the minions and making them non-responsive is right?

Answer 1

I know service.restart and even pkg.install works with salt-minion:

local.cmd('*', 'service.restart', ['salt-minion'])

Of course, you ought to test this on a subset of minions first.
