pretty cmd.run output for processes that use escape codes

[jtgreen-cse]

append

env='{TERM: "xterm"}' --out=txt

to, for example

salt '*' cmd.run 'so-status'

to end up with

cmd.run 'so-status' env='{TERM: "xterm"}' --out=txt

Salt warns you that using the txt output could lead to compromise from malicious escape codes in bad processes. Use it when running trusted processes only.

Give sudo salt \* so.status a try :)

[jtgreen-cse]

I knew someone would mention that if I used so-status as an example ;) At least useful for commands other than so-status.

[TOoSmOotH]

:) I think any command that relies on formatting and is useful merits a salt module like so.status. If you can think of any let me know and we can create them.
