   Run the script file jmeter-server - start JMeter in server mode (calls JMeter script with appropriate parameters)
   jmeter.sh - very basic JMeter script with no JVM options specified.
   mirror-server.sh - runs the JMeter Mirror Server in non-GUI mode
   shutdown.sh - Run the Shutdown client to stop a non-GUI instance gracefully
