The atlassian script is a more powerful script to use in place of product specific scripts (like jira.sh and confluence.sh) and provides a consistent way to access multiple CLIs and servers.

| This is what we follow internally to minimize maintenance for upgrades: - Follow the CLI installation naming convention as indicated in the example script
- Put your customized atlassian script in a directory on your path
- Put a soft link to the atlassian script in each CLI installation directory
- This makes it possible to extract the correct CLI version for your script automatically
|
Alternative- Make sure the current directory (.) is on your path
- On upgrades, copy the atlassian file to the new installation
- Edit the file and find/replace the version if necessary
