Hello, it is not so straightforward if there are more than one minion. For copyfile, the overlord part uses: if data: self.parent.run("copyfile", "append", [remotepath, xmlrpclib.Binary(data)]) This applies to all target minions because it is the same file for all. I can't do the opposite for getfile, because the action differs from one minion to the other (the files can have different lengths) I need to do something like this because I cut the files in chunks to get them: for chunknum in range(chunkslen): checksum,chunk = self.parent.run("getfile", "getchunk", [chunknum, source]).items()[0][1] It is fine when I restrict the target to one minion. Do you know how I could do the run on one single minion (replacing parent.run), so I just have to loop over the minions ? I don't.
