Best Practices

Tip
titleGeneral
  • Best to use a larger command window at least 100 columns wide, the larger the better for output viewing
  • Best to add your installation directory to your system path so you can run acli actions more easily on a regular basis
  • Recommend using the configuration support and other option customization capabilities to make day to day use simple
    • Some examples of this follow later and there are more detailed pages as well


Tip
titleLinux and OSX
  • To make the most of screen width for table output, it is recommended to add the following to your bash profile: export COLUMNS=$COLUMNS
  • Recommend defining acli (on your path) as a link to acli.sh or as a customized bash script similar to acli.sh
    • Examples here and on other documentation use this shortcut for simplification
