Description of problem: When the rhsm-compliance-icon was renamed to rhsm-icon (during rhel57 cycle), we neglected to update the man page too. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@jsefler-onprem-5server ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager-gnome subscription-manager-gnome-0.98.10-1.git.0.5d83904.el5 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: [root@jsefler-onprem-5server ~]# man rhsm-icon No manual entry for rhsm-icon [root@jsefler-onprem-5server ~]# man -P cat rhsm-compliance-icon rhsm-compliance-icon(8) Subscription Compliance Daemon rhsm-compliance-icon(8) NAME rhsm-compliance-icon - Periodically checks installed products against active subscriptions to check for compliance. SYNOPSIS rhsm-compliance-icon DESCRIPTION Red Hat provides content updates and support by issuing subscriptions for its products. These subscriptions are allocated to systems (machines) and apply to the installed software products. On X systems (so, systems with a GUI interface), a compliance daemon runs every 4 hours to check the currently installed software against the allocated subscriptions. If software is installed with expired sub- scriptions or no available subscription, then the daemon triggers an icon and warning message to display in the start menu bar. rhsm-compliance-icon only runs on X-based systems. Servers which do not have a GUI inter- face do not run or require the rhsm-compliance-icon daemon. OPTIONS -c, --check-period Sets the interval to use between checks for compliance. The value is in seconds. -f, --force-icon=TYPE Manually displays the given type of icon in the start menu. The TYPE can be warning or expired and uses a different icon for each type of message. -d, --debug Shows debug messages for the daemon. USAGE There are two reasons to invoke rhsm-compliance-icon manually: * To run the daemon on a new schedule (immediately or with a different frequency) * To view the compliance icons or messages regardless of the compliance state of the machine Since X runs the daemon automatically and on schedule, it is not neces- sary normally to run the compliance daemon. Administrators can run it to view any immediate changes to the compliance of the system. For example: rhsm-compliance-icon --check-period 120 If you just want to know what the different compliance messages look like, then use the --force-icon option. rhsm-compliance-icon --force-icon=warning rhsm-compliance-icon --force-icon=expired BUGS This process is part of the subscription management system for Red Hat systems.

Created attachment 550765 [details] rhsm-icon.8 I edited and renamed the man page. I don't have the permissions to change it in the subscription-manager git repo, so I'm attaching the file here. I checked the other man pages, but I didn't find any references to rhsm-compliance-icon, so that's fine. I'll check the deployment guide next.
Deon, There is another rhsm-icon application option (-i, --check-immediately) that will check the subscription status immediately, otherwise the first check is delayed 4 minutes (this delay was the fix for bug 700547). [root@jsefler-onprem-5server ~]# rhsm-icon --help Usage: rhsm-icon [OPTION...] rhsm icon Help Options: -?, --help Show help options --help-all Show all help options --help-gtk Show GTK+ Options Application Options: -c, --check-period How often to check for validity (in seconds) -d, --debug Show debug messages -f, --force-icon=TYPE Force display of the icon (expired, partial or warning) -i, --check-immediately Run the first status check right away --display=DISPLAY X display to use
Bryan, Seems to me that the --display=DISPLAY option should not be shown with "rhsm-icon --help" since this is a "rhsm-icon --help-gtk" option as demonstrated below...
