It is nice to be able to reliably test cert renewals, such as when a cert is requested in an application using a different method than it is being renewed as, such as when a cert is obtained through standalone mode, and then expected to renew through nginx/apache.

Testing renewals by running the cron command swaps out staging cert requests for production ones.

Operators may want to test the renewal command and append --force --test of the form:
acme.sh --cron --home="/home/letsencrypt" --force --test

make the --test flag (or --staging) flag on this command honor the request to continue to use staging servers for renewals when requested.
