after installed app,I most often use the bellow grails command:
grails prod cf-update : to redeploy an application
grails cf-logs :to see log

another command I often use:
appcfg.cmd update war
 (Yes,this not a clound foundry plugin command,it's G#A#E# redeploy command,I use a G#A#E# app
as a bridge,because "Outbound connections in CloudFoundry are limited currently to HTTP(S) on ports 80 and 443.",
but G#A#E# supports  80-90, 440-450, 1024-65535.Why  use G#A#E#
as a bridge,why not directly use G#A#E#,you know.A Chinese popular catchword:你懂的!
And you should aslo know clound foundry's database mysql now not supports UTF8. I use encoding and decoding
to support Chinese )
