AS 3-6 and EAP 4 and 5 had a -c option, should it be brought forward
--------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: AS7-2015
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2015
             Project: Application Server 7
          Issue Type: Feature Request
            Reporter: Jim Tyrrell


Cut and pasted from an email:

-c -- anyone interested, let's have a debate.

In AS7 -c foo.xml would be a shorthand for --server-config=foo.xml

I don't like that because:

a) It's only a rough translation of what -c meant in AS < 7. People
would have to read docs to figure out how to use it, so is there much
benefit?
b) There's no clean equivalent for domain.sh. It could be a shorthand
for --domain-config=foo.xml but it could also be a shorthand for
--host-config=foo.xml. So which?

(I could be convinced to support -c=foo.xml as a shorthand for
-server-config=foo.xml and --domain-config=foo.xml if I feel people
understand the issues and still want it. I've had conversations with
people about it before, but they've gotten sidetracked when other things
came up. And I could be much more easily be convinced by a nice patch.)

So does -c become -dc and -hc then?

I think this also dovetails into a discussion about how do I clone an instance and start it up 3 or 4 times on a IP address.  Customers have done this for sure, and I do this in labs/cookbooks?
