Usage on Solaris 11
------------
Wrapper scripts are provided to access the Salt command-line interfaces. These
wrapper scripts execute with environmental variable overrides for library and
python paths. These wrapper scripts are provided in /usr/bin, which is typically
included in the environmental variable PATH.

The following wrapper scripts are available:

  salt-ssh
  salt-proxy

Note: with this release only salt-minion functionality is provided

Salt command line functionality is available through the use of
these wrapper scripts. For example, to start the salt-minion as a daemon:
