**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
In Accumulo 2.x the help for the tablet server would show the following.
```
$accumulo tserver --help
Usage: tserver [options]
Options:
-a, --address
address to bind to
-h, -?, --help, -help
-p, -props, --props
Sets path to accumulo.properties.The classpath will be searched if
this
property is not set
-o
Overrides configuration set in accumulo.properties (but NOT
system-wide
config set in Zookeeper). Expected format: -o <key>=<value>
Default: []
```
Making it easy to know that you needed to run `accumulo tsever -a aHostName`
to advertise the tserver process using `aHostName`.
In accumulo 4.0.0-SNAPSHOT running help shows the following.
```
$ ./accumulo tserver --help
Usage: tserver [options]
Options:
-h, -?, --help, -help
-p, -props, --props
Sets path to accumulo.properties.The classpath will be searched if
this
property is not set
-o
Overrides configuration set in accumulo.properties (but NOT
system-wide
config set in Zookeeper). Expected format: -o <key>=<value>
Default: []
```
And to do the same thing as 2.x this command needs to be run `accumulo
manager -o general.process.bind.addr=aHostName`. The help does not help you
figure this out. I looked at source code to figure this out and it took a
while.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
It would be nice to make this common operation easier. Either add something
to help message for servers or bring the `-a` option back.
