Description John Horne 2017-04-24 16:01:08 UTC

Description of problem:
The '--help' option doesn't show what the default values are for the '--period' and '--directory' options. (I had to download the source code and search for them.) It would be helpful if the values were displayed when using '--help'.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
x509watch-0.6.0-4.fc24.noarch
(x509watch-0.6.0-1.el7.noarch on RHEL7 server)

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
S. Install x509watch package
2. Type in 'x509watch --help'
3.

Actual results:
x509watch 0.6.0, (c) 2009-2013 by Robert Scheck
This program is free software with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY;

Public License version 2 or later.

Usage: x509watch [OPTIONS]
  -p, --period=days     Number of days to be warned before
  -d, --directory=path  Recursive searched filesystem path
  -f, --file=path       Filesystem path to certificate file
  -i, --ignore=glob     Path with globbing of ignored files
  -n, --no-warning      Suppress all warnings during access
  -o, --openssl=path    Alternative path to OpenSSL binary
  -?, --help            Display this help and exit
  -V, --version         Output version information and exit

Locates soon expiring or already expired SSL certificates.

Expected results:
Default values for '-p' and '-d' options to be shown.
Perhaps something like:

Usage: x509watch [OPTIONS]
  -p, --period=days     Number of days to be warned before (default = 30)
  -d, --directory=path  Recursive searched filesystem path (default = /etc/pki)

But after downloading the "source" you hopefully noticed, that it is a Perl 
script, thus you already had the source before? ;-) Nevertheless, I admit it
is a good enhancement idea, I will implement this for the next version.

Comment 2 John Horne 2017-04-25 09:06:03 UTC

I admit I did not check the 'x509watch' command itself to see what sort of file it was before downloading the source :-)
Anyway, thanks for accepting this request, and for the program itself.
