Issue #: 2729 Platform: All Reporter: templedf (templedf) Component: gridengine OS: All Subcomponent: clients Version: 6.2 CC: [_] reuti [_] Remove selected CCs Status: REOPENED Priority: P4 Resolution: Issue type: DEFECT Target milestone: --- Assigned to: roland (roland) QA Contact: roland URL: * Summary: some commands don't print an error message on unknown commandline options Status whiteboard: Attachments: Issue 2729 blocks: Votes for issue 2729: Opened: Tue Sep 16 13:02:00 -0700 2008 ------------------------ With the qsub command, -help is recognized, but --help is not. ------- Additional comments from reuti Tue Sep 16 13:26:11 -0700 2008 ------- Same stands for qconf, qdel, qrls and qhold, while others like qacct, qstat, qmod and qhost allow it. ------- Additional comments from joga Wed Sep 17 00:37:12 -0700 2008 ------- Not a defect. We do not support the -- syntax. If you really want it, please reopen as an enhancement ;-) ------- Additional comments from reuti Wed Sep 17 01:20:35 -0700 2008 ------- No, it's not really necessary, but then I would suggest to make it consistent and remove the --help from qacct, qstat, qmod and qhost. ------- Additional comments from joga Wed Sep 17 04:59:26 -0700 2008 ------- OK, problem is that qacct (and others) simply print the usage information on any unknown option, without complaining about what actually was wrong. Other commands (like qsub) correctly print qsub: ERROR! invalid option argument "--help" Make these commands (qacct, qdel, qstat, qmod, qhost, qping, qselect) print an error message on unknown options, as well as the usage information.
