------------------------


The ususal "-" for stdin should be accepted by "qacct -f -" to read from stdin, which can be the result of a
pipe. In a imilar way it could be ueseful for the qconf commands which start with an uppercase letter to
read from a file, not limited to the mentioned "qconf -Aq -".

Is "qacct -f /dev/stdin" good enough for this purpose?

I posted this request after a discussion on the users list. I even used:

$ qacct -f <(zcat accounting.1.gz)

before. There are also other workarounds. Using the "-" is just default for stdin in several tools.
