Hi, 

I've been reading up on baking AMIs with this tool.  I am wondering if this would work for my case.  I'm setting up a DR environment in AWS, where I've migrated a few thousand VMs over to AWS as AMIs.  Each quarter, we patch our on-prem VMs with a satellite server with a set of custom repos.  So in AWS, rather than run the migration tool each time, I would rather build out 'a patching VPC' [with cloudformation], spin up each AMI to EC2, patch with a copy of the satellite server in a S3 bucket, then re-register the new AMI.  From the architecture of the aminator, this seems like a perfect tool to use.

Although from the examples I've seen all over the web, it seems to only pull/patch the repo from the web.  Example:

$ sudo aminate -e ec2_apt_linux -B ami-86c0f6c3 apache2

When I setup the ubuntu server to run to test out, i get an error: too few arguements

Help?
