I find it important to include system information in here as well, so just copy-pasting an invocation from system A to system B does not run.
For example, our database restore script has a parameter `--yes-delete-all-data-in` and it needs to be parametrized with the PostgreSQL cluster name. So a command with `--yes-delete-all-data-in=pg-accounting` works on exactly one system and not on other systems.
