Re: emcli Confusion

It really looks to me like the '-' (hyphen) character in your command line is actually a '–' (dash). Are you copying the commands from a web page or a Word doc? Some page formatting software tries to be cute and convert hyphens to dashes for you.

Here's my own test to confirm:

• with a dash: [andy_at_dbm ~]$ emcli login –username=larry Syntax Error: Too many positional arguments
  • "–username=larry"
• with a hyphen: [andy_at_dbm ~]$ emcli login -username=larry Enter password
