I'm trying to replace my UNiTE scripting with kickstart/cli as described here to support Akeeba Backup v10.

In that example the line where the actual installation is performed

php ./cli.php execute $ORIGIN/config.json

seems to indicate that it is possible to supply a JSON config file to control that installation instead of the one created by `cli.php config:make`.

This does not work for me. `cli.php` always uses the generated `config.yml.php` in the installation directory, silently ignoring any extra argument. If that file does not exist `cli.php` produces an error.

Is this just documentation error or am I missing something?

It is a mistake in the documentation. There is no argument to execute, let alone a JSON file.
