Does salt-key accept multiple Minion IDs for the "-a" option?

[pepoluan]

Various Glorified AutoCompleters -- oh sorry, I mean "LLM-based A.I." -- seem to indicate that I can accept multiple minions in one go using the following syntax:

salt-key -a Minion1 Minion2 Minion3

However, I don't see this ever mentioned in the documentation.

Is it actually possible to do that, or were those Glorified AutoCompleters, as usual, "hallucinating" something that never exists?

And if not, is it possible to actually have salt-key selectively accept multiple new minions in one CLI invocation?

Accepting multiple minions with salt-key is possible, but this is not the correct syntax.

As noted in the man page globbing is supported and this allows targeting multiple minions.

    -a ACCEPT, --accept=ACCEPT
                        Accept the specified public key (use --include-
                        rejected and --include-denied to match rejected and
                        denied keys in addition to pending keys). Globs are
                        supported.

So there would be multiple ways that could be used to accept all of these minions in one command. for instance:

salt-key -a 'Minion1,Minion2,Minion3'

salt-key -a 'Minion[1-3]'

salt-key -a 'Minion*'

Oh thanks!

So, commas can be used to separate minion IDs? Good to know!

Just to add:

Apparently this also works for -L, so:

salt -L 'MinionOne,Minion2,MinionC,MinyonFour' ...
salt-cp -L 'MinionOne,Minion2,MinionC,MinyonFour' /local/source/path /dest/dir/

also works 👍🏼
