Description Rehana 2014-11-12 15:52:35 UTC

Description of problem:
After the discussion with Dev,it came to our notice that rhsm-icon has initial check-period of 4 min if check immeidately is false  (which is default) and then the check happens every day, so it will be good include these dafault time to rhsm-icon --help

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.rhsm-icon --help 
2.
3.

Actual results:
no default check period in the description

Expected results:
rhsm-icon --help should display the default --check-period in it's description field.

Comment 2 John Sefler 2014-11-12 16:39:52 UTC

I just want to clarify that there is actually a hard coded 4 minute delay for the initial check when rhsm-icon is started.  If  check immeidately is false, then a 4 minute delay is used before the initial check, thereafter the --check-period is used.  The default is equivalent to one day.


[root@jsefler-os7 ~]# rhsm-icon --help

  rhsm-icon [OPTION...]

TODO...
Please change the --check-period description to:
                              how often to check for validity (in seconds)
                              (defaults to one day)

Please change the --check-immediately description to:
                              run the first status check right away,
                              otherwise a 4 minute delay is used before
                              the start of the initial check period 

Please update the man page to include these defaults.  The 4 minute delay is already presented in the man page.
