Description

To specify a run list with knife ec2 server create:

knife ec2 server create 'role[base]' 'role[webserver]'

With bootstrap:

knife bootstrap FQDN -r 'role[base]','role[webserver]'

They should both use the same way of specifying the run list. The -r option is probably the most consistent instead of name_args and is available for ec2, rackspace, slicehost and terremark server create.

Also, the command line help is incorrect:

    • BOOTSTRAP COMMANDS **
      knife bootstrap FQDN [RUN LIST...] (options)

+1 for making the "set run list" semantic available and the same everywhere, either:

knife node run_list set 'role[base]' 'role[webserver]'

or the single arg style which I guess would be

knife node edit -r 'role[base],role[webserver]'

This is fixed for knife-ec2 and knife-rackspace. Resolved in favor of using the -r form, since that's more amenable to adding other ways to set the run list on a new node, e.g., an interactive mode.
