+Sample bash script illustrating usage of CLI operations and return codes handling::


I would move this script to the sotactl repo and reference it from this doc.

I was thinking about having it on a repo an also keep it in the docs, I believe it is simple enough to contribute to the docs context.

I think we need to ask someone from CS team to check if the CLI commands and return codes as explained here works for them.

I'm missing a note about stopping aklite daemon before running CLI.
We could cover:

manual updates (stop aklite and stop fioconfig)
skip daemon start from lmp-device-register
skip daemon from the build (we have an example for custom-sota, what would be the alternative for CLI?)

I haven't reviewed return codes and sample script yet.

+The ``check`` command will refresh the Targets metadata from the OTA server, and present you with a list of available Targets::


@kprosise Do you think this "refresh the Targets metadata from the OTA server" means what the command actually does?

Added note.

skip daemon start from lmp-device-register

Added note.

skip daemon from the build (we have an example for custom-sota, what would be the alternative for CLI?)

We do need the daemon binary, so the build itself is not changed someone is going to use CLI. Perhaps adding something about not enabling the aklite service by default in the build? Not sure hot that can be done, will have to check it.

+.. note::
+   An update can only be performed when the original and update Targets are under the same tag.
+   In case the Target is tagged differently,
+   it is required to switch tags before running this command.


I would rather recommend to add the device's tag to the Target, switching tags on a device is rather the last resort.

Maybe we should remove this note at all since this is a general rule, not specific to the CLI, is applicable to any types of update.

I agree. Having it here only adds uneccessary complexity to the documentation. The target would not be listed in the list and check commands anyway. Removing the note.

mike-sul

LGTM, just minor comments.
