Description John Sefler 2011-12-14 21:33:12 UTC
Description of problem:

The following error message can be improved...
[root@rhel58-server ~]# subscription-manager refresh
Error: You need to register this system by running `register` command.  Try register --help.

... because it is going to be interpreted to mean do this:
[root@rhel58-server ~]# register
-bash: register: command not found

Here are some suggested message improvements:
Error: You are not yet registered. Try `subscription-manager register` --help.
Error: You are not yet registered. Try subscription-manager register --help.
Error: You are not yet registered. Run `subscription-manager register`.
Error: You need to run `subscription-manager register` before attempting this command.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@rhel58-server ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-0.98.5-1.el5
