Description Philip Gwyn 2004-11-10 22:01:01 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3)
Gecko/20040914

Description of problem:
The man page for apm talks about the following switches :
          -i, --ignore,  -n, --noignore

Apm's command usage simply says 
usage: apm [-vmMsSin] [--verbose] [--minutes] [--monitor] [--suspend]
[--standby]

(omitting --ignore and --noignore)

However, if I try to use -i or -n, apm spits out the usage, implying
an error.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
apmd-3.0.2-24

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in
2. Type `apm -i` or `apm -n`
3. PROFIT!
    

Actual Results:  usage: apm [-vmMsSin] [--verbose] [--minutes]
[--monitor] [--suspend] [--standby]


Expected Results:  Some message to the effect that "apmd will ignore
BIOS messages"

This is probably something that needs fixed in upstream apmd.
