Description of problem: README file points to http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/CLI#Usage (Does have this wiki a process to have up-to-date documentation?) and there's output from `ovirt-shell --help` but this does not work. Two points: * --help _must_ work and it worked! BZ854338#4 * what about if I don't have network access to Internet, how would I find out what is valid syntax just to connect rhevm-shell? -%- # rhevm-shell URL: localhost Username: admin@internal Password: error: "localhost" is invalid url format. valid format is http[s]://server:port/api. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Welcome to RHEVM shell ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ [RHEVM shell (disconnected)]# [root@jb-rh33 ~]# rhevm-shell -c -l https://localhost/api Username: admin@internal Password: error: server CA certificate file must be specified for SSL secured connection. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Welcome to RHEVM shell ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ [RHEVM shell (disconnected)]# [root@jb-rh33 ~]# rhevm-shell --help URL: -%- Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhevm-cli-3.3.0.8-1.el6ev.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. --help 2. 3. Actual results: --help does not work. taking magic ball to get what should i type to make it work Expected results: --help should how me some info how to make it work Additional info: this app neither does have a manpage nor it has any useful documentation inside rpm package. it points only to ovirt.org wiki which has probably questionable process for updates of the info. let's hope users would find out there's rhevm-doc package which has Command Line Shell Guide.
Hi Jiri, this issues is already addressed in 3.4 cli, workarounds are: 1. configure shell at ~/rhevmshellrc 2. disable 'autoconnect' at ~/rhevmshellrc, this way you can see help without connecting and when you would like to connect, just pass -c/--connect among other options. hope it helps.

Yes this workaround works. But... how would one find this workaround in 3.3 which would be shipped? For me --help is a must for 3.3 version.
