At one of my previous positions the company was looking to save money so they would take the average windows admin salary and bump it a bit and not make UNIX knowledge and experience a requirement in the job req. So what they would get was windows admins who wanted to become Unix admins.
Getting them to count to 5 verbally would confirm this because the windows admin would always start with 1 whereas an experienced Unix admin would generally start with 0 because of the way interfaces, disks and Unix in general start with 0 in a numbering scheme.

asadmin-start-instance(1AS) User Commands asadmin-start-instance(1AS)
NAME
asadmin-start-instance, start-instance - starts a server instance and all the services associated with it
SYNOPSIS

[--debug=false] [--passwordfile filename] [--secure|-s] instance_name
Use the start-instance command to start an instance with the instance name you specify. The start-instance command can be run both locally

identified for the administration server.

--password administrative password corresponding to the administrative user.
--host host name of the machine hosting the administrative instance.
--port administrative port number associated with the administrative host.
--local determines if the command should delegate the request to administrative instance or run locally.
--domain name of the domain.
--debug starts the instance in debug mode.
--passwordfile file containing passwords appropriate for the command (e.g., administrative instance).
--secure if true, uses SSL/TLS to communicate with the administrative instance.
OPERANDS
instance_name name of the instance to be started.
Example 1: Using start-instance in local mode
asadmin> start-instance --domain domain1 admin-server
Instance admin-server started
Where: the admin-server instance is started on the local domain1 domain.
Example 2: Using start-instance in remote mode
asadmin> start-instance --user admin --password bluestar --host localhost --port 4848 server1
