Description of problem: In remote control mode of guestfish, the server will normally exit if there is an error in a command. guestfish man page said if we prefix a command with a - character, then that command will not cause guestfish to exit, but this doesn't work in remote control mode, seems the prefixal '-' in sub-command won't be handled by guestfish. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): guestfish-1.0.85-1.fc12.3 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. $ eval `guestfish --listen` 2. $ guestfish --remote version major: 1 minor: 0 release: 85 extra: 3. $ guestfish --remote -- -lvs -lvs: unknown command 4. $ guestfish --remote version guestfish: remote: looks like the server is not running Actual results: '-' prefixed sub-commands is not recognized by guestfish, and this will cause the guestfish server exit in remote control mode. Expected results: sub-commands which prefixed with '-' character should be recognized by guestfish, and this should make guestfish ignore the errors of commands even in remote control mode.
