show running vs. list commands

List is typically "listing" the configured output in bigip.conf. Show results in statistics logged by datasets in MyDB, & TMM.

I typically like to do a lot of

"tmsh show running-config /ltm pool X one-line"

This is awesome when you want to execute quick clones of a configuration. It also has helped me in the past standardize a lot of REST commands, and efficient scripting for certain application builds in automation attempts. That way I can live life a bit more... haha
