Script Automation

# Non-interactive token for scripts
export APPM_TOKEN=$(appm logon -U admin -X 'password' --show-token --timeout PT1H)
appm -H https://server:6060 add -a myscript -c "./run.sh"

# Batch operations
for app in $(appm ls -j | jq -r '.[].name'); do
  appm disable -a $app
done

Flag Context Sensitivity

Some short flags change meaning per command — use long-form (--app, --target) when ambiguous:

-a: app name (ls/add/run), audience (logon), add mode (label), no-attr (get/put)
-t: timeout (run/shell), target user (passwd/lock)
-v: verbose (global), view (label/config)
-r: remote path (get/put), retry (shell)
