What is the idiomatic way to invoke chef-solo? Most sites do this:

chef-solo -c ~/solo.rb -j ~/node.json -r http://www.example.com/chef-solo.tar.gz

But that's long. There are a few shorter ways to do this that I can think of:

  1. A rake task (rake chef-solo).
  2. A small shell script (run-chef-solo).
  3. An alias (can override the name, like chef-solo).

What is the idiomatic way to do this? How are other chef users invoking chef?
