Description of problem: The "--ondate" option has been newly added to the subsciption-manager status module. The man page needs an update to include a short description of --ondate. [root@jsefler-6 ~]# subscription-manager status --help Usage: subscription-manager status [OPTIONS] Show status information for this system's subscriptions and products Options: -h, --help show this help message and exit --proxy=PROXY_URL proxy URL in the form of proxy_hostname:proxy_port --proxyuser=PROXY_USER user for HTTP proxy with basic authentication --proxypassword=PROXY_PASSWORD password for HTTP proxy with basic authentication --ondate=ON_DATE future date to check status on, defaults to today's date (example: 2013-09-06) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ newly added option Also note that when status is called, the actual format of the status output is different than what is seen in the man page. Here is a real example...
