Yes though bitbake/bin/toaster script is only for the 'localhost' setup, 
not for remote/hosted managed mode.

If you're using master or jethro/2.0 I think what is missing in the wiki 
instructions is setting the BUILD_MODE = true in
bitbake/lib/toaster/toastermain/settings.py

see latest docs here 
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/toaster-manual/toaster-manual.html#setting-up-a-hosted-service-and-running-in-build-mode

The wiki page was just meant to be a staging place for documentation 
before it's official which might be a bit confusing now that I think 
about it, I'll put a warning/link at the top to the main documentation.

Thanks
