Description

The bin/solr scripts contain a number of useful tools. Some of these can be pointed at a Solr host through config, and can be run on the Solr host, an admin's laptop, or anywhere else. Others make assumptions that require them to be run from the same box where Solr is running.

These commands should document any such restrictions in their help text, to avoid any potential confusion.
