Re: multiple user documentation

the github autotest pages says:

*Autotest command line interface: Alternatively, users also can use the autotest CLI, written in python

we ran into issues and when we looked on the web the "fixes" all said to run atest with specific options.
there is no atest executable created when the contrib install script is used.

I tried to do "python /usr/local/autotest/cli/atest.py --help" but it did nothing

I'm not positive, but maybe you're mixing up client and server directory structures?

/usr/local/autotest/cli are the files used to build/support the CLI (as opposed to the web interface).

/usr/local/autotest/bin I think only exists on clients running autotest jobs.

I'm not sure what atest is, but I've not yet needed to look for it :)
