#!/usr/bin/env bash

CURL_OPTS=("--fail-with-body" "--show-error" "-s" "-k" "-u" "user:pass" "-H" "Content-Type: application/json" "-H" "Accept: application/json, */*")

# Create task and get id
TASK_ID=$(jq -n --arg name /var/local/ucs/test.ucs \
    --arg passphrase "testpw" \
    '{

        "options": [
