This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2284

The help command fails with a traceback when piped into a bad command:

{{{
$ ipa help automount|bad
-bash: bad: command not found
ipa: ERROR: non-public: IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe
Traceback (most recent call last):

Comment 2 Martin Kosek 2015-01-21 15:26:33 UTC

Thank you taking your time and submitting this request for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Unfortunately, this bug was not given a priority and was deferred both in the upstream project and in Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Given that we are unable to fulfill this request in following Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases, I am closing the Bugzilla as DEFERRED. To request that Red Hat re-considers the decision, please re-open the Bugzilla via appropriate support channels and provide additional business and/or technical details about its importance to you.

Note that you can still track this request or even contribute patches in the referred upstream Trac ticket.
