Description Andrius Benokraitis 2011-05-19 19:32:38 UTC

The current output from issuing a 'subscription-manager subscribe -auto' is not user friendly.

For example:

[root@ibm-js22-vios-02-lp4 ~]# subscription-manager register
Username: qa
Password: 
c613695d-cfbf-417b-bfe6-438ad09ac02e
ibm-js22-vios-02-lp4.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com
[root@ibm-js22-vios-02-lp4 ~]# subscription-manager subscribe --auto

The subscription action does not explictly state success. A follow-up --list is required each time to confirm.
