Common errors

edit
Cannot use both --user and --file

This error occurs when you try to use both options at once. You always have to use either --user or --file.

Could not open $filename

This error occurs when the file does not exist or the user running the script does not have permission to read the file.

If the file does exist, check the file permissions. If you are root user, then you can run script with sudo.
