rhqctl -h says:

usage: rhqctl <cmd> [options]

where <cmd> is one of:
 console <[options]>   Starts an RHQ service in the foreground. Only
                       --server or --storage is supported. To start the
                       agent in the foreground, use the
                       <RHQ_AGENT_HOME>/bin/rhq-agent.(sh|bat) script.
 install <[options]>   Installs RHQ services.
 restart <[options]>   Restarts RHQ services.
 start <[options]>     Starts RHQ services.
 status <[options]>    Check status of RHQ services
 stop <[options]>      Stops RHQ services
 upgrade <[options]>   Upgrades RHQ services from an earlier installed
                       version

* For help on a specific command: rhqctl <cmd> --help
* Limit commands to a single component with one of: --storage, --server,
--agent

Same issue for 'rhqctl -h upgrade'. Instead of showing help, it tries to upgrade the system.

Comment 3 Jirka Kremser 2014-03-07 18:01:54 UTC

Actually the help is printed eventually, I just wasn't patient enough. The issue was that I had installed agent by rpm in the past so there was a warning displayed and 30s sleeping interval for a user to have a chance to read the message (I had no idea about that). So the help was printed after those 30 seconds of waiting.

I would like to add a check if user wants to print only help, the warning about rpm agent will not displayed.

Bulk closing of RHQ 4.11 issues, now that RHQ 4.12 is out.

If you find an issue with those, please open a new BZ, linking to the old one.
