Description
Unable to restart salt-minion on Arista load balancer running as
ps -ef | grep salt-minion
root 21393 1 0 2019 ? 3-03:28:39 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/salt-minion -d <<<< daemon
How would I do that?
Setup
Arista DCS-7150S-52-CL-SSD-F
Hardware version: 02.02
Serial number: JPE15151411
System MAC address: 001c.73b5.09db
Software image version: 4.19.0F-2GB
Architecture: i386
Internal build version: 4.19.0F-2GB-6005119.4190F
Internal build ID: 5969f1e5-2623-40f9-839e-749fdf7c794a
salt --version
salt 2018.3.0-2772-g34b3b90 (Oxygen)
/etc/redhat-release
Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow)
Steps to Reproduce the behavior
Have tried:
on the arista:
salt-call service.restart salt-minion
systemctl restart salt-minion
service salt-minion restart
salt-call cmd.run 'systemctl restart salt-minion'
There is no reference to salt-minion in /usr/lib/systemd/system or in /etc/rc.d service --status-all and systemctl list-unit-files does not list salt-minion
Expected behavior
Looking for correct command to restart salt-minion. This is related to the need to re-point minion to new salt-master controllers via the /etc/salt/minion file

Research direction
Start with the running /usr/bin/salt-minion -d process, the attempted service commands, and /etc/salt/minion on the stated Arista EOS setup. Determine whether Salt supports a restart path there; done means a verified command or documented limitation that lets the minion reload the new master configuration.
