Issue using devices.sls from web site guide.

{%- for device in pillar.devices %} Startup the Proxy for {{ device }}: service.running: - name: salt-proxy@{{ device }} {%- endfor %}

does not work when using a proxy minion running centos 6. How would you recommend starting all minions that are either on windows or centos 6?

Do you get any error messages ?

I think the Jinja syntax is fine , but without any error messages it's hard to troubleshoot your problem.
