Hi,

here's the relevant part of the script:

machines=$(dialog --inputbox "Choose the minions:" 10 50 "'*'" 3>&1 1>&2 2>&3)
dialog --infobox "Running Salt Stack - Dryrun, please wait..." 10 50
logfile=$(mktemp)
/usr/bin/salt ${machines} state.highstate -v test=True -b 10 > ${logfile}

If I replace the salt-line with echo ${machines} the output is correct.

Bye for now.
