I've got an instance of Spring Cloud Data Flow stood up with my apps and streams that I need. I even wrote scripts that work within the command shell to deploy all this stuff at once. The problem is that I have a manual step now that I need to do rather than just have it run out of the box.

With both Windows and Linux I know how to run a script through a shell and have it end when the script is run.

The problem is that I can's seem to do the same with the Spring Data Flow Shell. I'd like to do something like this:

```
java -jar spring-cloud-dataflow-shell.jar --runScript my-awesome-script.shell

```

However, I can't see any documentation that says something like that exists. Every option I could find didn't run the script and kept the shell open. Or is there another option completely that I am not aware of. My 15 years of Java experience was interrupted by doing .Net the past 6 years, and Spring looks completely different than it used to.
