What is launcher start-cmd suppose to do?

[EricGT]

The help for launcher has

Usage: launcher COMMAND CONFIG [--skip-prereqs] [--docker-args STRING]
Commands:
    start:       Start/initialize a container
   ...
    start-cmd:   Generate docker command used to start container
   ...

and since I know launcher is at times issuing Docker container commands I was expecting start-cmd to show the Docker command with all the parameters to start the container.

This was the result

groot@galaxy:/var/discourse$ ./launcher start-cmd
Usage: launcher COMMAND CONFIG [--skip-prereqs] [--docker-args STRING]
Commands:
    start:       Start/initialize a container
   ...

a dump of the command help.

How is this command used?

You still need to give it the config for which to issue the command, e.g.: ./launcher start-cmd app

Thanks.
