How to execute multiple scripts with Salt cmd.script? – Debian

I’m trying to apply salt state that consist of multiple scripts. But some reason only script4 is running.

Here’s my state file.

#!jinja|yaml|gpg

Distro_Specific_Scripts:
  cmd.script:
    - name: Run Scripts.sh
  {% if grains['os_family'] == 'RedHat' %}
    - source: salt://scripts/files/scripts/script_for_redhat.sh
  {% elif grains['os_family'] == 'Debian' %}
    - source: salt://scripts/files/scripts/script_for_ubuntu.sh
  {% endif %}
    - source: salt://scripts/files/scripts/script2.sh
    - source: salt://scripts/files/scripts/script3.sh
    - source: salt://scripts/files/scripts/script4.sh

Would you share your experience about running multiple scripts? or Would you tell me where i went wrong.

    Actually I found a way to achieve my goal. But if there's a smartest way to do it any help would be appreciated :)

    #!jinja|yaml|gpg

Distro_Specific_Scripts:
  cmd.script:
    - name: Distro Specific Scripts
  {% if grains['os_family'] == 'RedHat' %}
    - source: salt://scripts/files/scripts/script_for_redhat.sh
  {% elif grains['os_family'] == 'Debian' %}
    - source: salt://scripts/files/scripts/script_for_debian.sh
  {% endif %}
script2:
  cmd.script:
    - name: script2.sh
    - source: salt://scripts/files/scripts/script2.sh
script3:
  cmd.script:
    - name: script3
    - source: salt://scripts/files/scripts/script2.sh
script4:
  cmd.script:
    - name: script4.sh
    - source: salt://scripts/files/scripts/script2.sh

    There are multiple ways to write this.

    OPTION 1:

    This will be the simplest method. If you have scripts corresponding to the grains['os_family'], i.e.

    • script_for_debian.sh for Debian
    • script_for_ubuntu.sh for Ubuntu
    • script_for_redhat.sh for RedHat
    run_my_scripts:
  cmd.script:
    - names:
        - salt://scripts/files/scripts/script_for_{{ grains['os_family'] | lower }}.sh
        - salt://scripts/files/scripts/script2.sh
        - salt://scripts/files/scripts/script3.sh
        - salt://scripts/files/scripts/script4.sh

    OPTION 2:

    If not, then we can set the script name conditionally and outside the state declaration:

    {% set os_specific_script = salt['grains.filter_by']({
  'Debian': 'script_for_ubuntu.sh',
  'RedHat': 'script_for_redhat.sh'
}) %}

run_my_scripts:
  cmd.script:
    - names:
        - salt://scripts/files/scripts/{{ os_specific_script }}
        - salt://scripts/files/scripts/script2.sh
        - salt://scripts/files/scripts/script3.sh
        - salt://scripts/files/scripts/script4.sh

    If you have control over the name of scripts, OPTION 1 will be a better choice.
