Basic examples

This example registers a listening Tentacle to the worker pool MyWorkerPool:

tentacle register-worker --server="https://MyOctopusServer" --apiKey="API-MyApiKey" --workerpool="MyWorkerPool"

This example registers a polling Tentacle to the worker pool MyWorkerPool in the space MyNewSpace:

tentacle register-worker --server="https://MyOctopusServer" --apiKey="API-MyApiKey" --workerpool="MyWorkerPool --space="MyNewSpace" --comms-style="TentacleActive"
