HI Marcuss,
Hm, not quite sure what to make of this action. What does it mean for

$be —app maya —action publish
So, similar to any other action *publish* can be implemented through
command line. By saying that, *be* looks for its config for publish action
and invoke the publish tool using the current environment.
so it would be something similar as,
$be —app maya —action publish
*< maya file to publish >* can be easily generated through *Rez* or any
packaging tool through the current environment,
eg:
* /jobs/< job_name >/users/< my_name >/workspace/< seq >/< shot >/< task
>/maya/my_maya_file.mb *
*< my_name >, < seq >, < shot >, < task >* are already made available.
So, by doing this it could be possible to plug any external publish tool to
do publish through command line.
