Actions

As mentioned under manifests, actions are used to dictate an action that needs to be done to configuration a system. The following is an example of a simple action:

actions:
  # Action ID can be command.run or cmd.run
  - action: command.run
    command: echo
    args:
      - hi

The above does the following: It defines a list of actions (with only one element). The action defined is the for command.run, which in this case runs the echo command, providing the argument of 'hi.' The result is something equivalent to running the following command line on a Unix-based system:

echo hi
