Installed on preq

Cherrypy version 3.2.2

Put in Cherrypy config to file /etc/salt/master.d/salt-api.conf

rest_cherrypy:
  port: 8080
  host: <your hosts ip>
  ssl_crt: /etc/ssl/private/cert.pem
  ssl_key: /etc/ssl/private/key.pem
  webhook_disable_auth: True
  webhook_url: /hook

Then created /etc/salt/master.d/reactor.conf

reactor:
  - 'salt/netapi/hook/restart':
    - /salt/reactor/restart.sls


Then created  vi /salt/reactor/services/restart.sls

{% set postdata = data.get('post', {}) %}

restart_services:
  cmd.service.restart:
    - tgt: '{{ postdata.tgt }}'
    - arg:
      - {{ postdata.service }}

Then I pass a curl command with the following info:

 curl -H "Accept: application/json" -d tgt='*' -d service="nginx" -d secretkey="number for key" -k https://132.249.232.234:8080/hook/restart

Comes back as true. But nginx was not restarted on minion.
