title: How to get InfluxDB version via shell
body: <p>The influx shell has a <code>-version</code> flag, but not influx server:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/path/to/bin/influx -version
  InfluxDB shell version: 1.1.1
  
  /path/to/bin/influxd -version
  flag provided but not defined: -version
  
  /path/to/bin/influxd -v
  flag provided but not defined: -v
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Should I assume that influx shell and influx server will always have the same version ?  </p>
