Description Bryan Kearney 2012-04-11 13:46:19 UTC 
The following commands all behave differently when no options are provided:

subscribe
unsubscribe
envrionments
import
repos

for example subscribe shows:

Error: This command requires that you specify a pool with --pool or use --auto.


and repos shows:

Error: This command requires that you specify a pool with --pool or use --auto.


and unsubscibe actually shows the full text. Pick one model, and standardize across all the commands.

Additionally, these commands:

subscribe
unsubscribe

should check for registration before parsing the options.
Comment 1 Bryan Kearney 2012-04-11 13:52:16 UTC 
Also, the redeem command.
Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2012-04-11 13:57:51 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion
in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.  Product Management has
requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for
potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux release for currently
deployed products.  This request is not yet committed for inclusion in
a release.
Comment 3 Bryan Kearney 2012-04-11 14:03:04 UTC 
Add config to this list too.
Comment 4 William Poteat 2012-06-12 19:40:42 UTC 
Checking for registration before the unsubscribe command does not work with offline setup. It was not put in.

Config defaults to --list as before, it is the logical default.

Error messages have been standardized.

Commit 42e23b7bf6be4086d70b44a37dc41c5e987193b8 in master.
Comment 5 J.C. Molet 2012-06-19 16:41:51 UTC 
Testing with: subscription-manager-1.0.4-1.git.3.1768f90.el5

[root@jmolet-vm0 ~]# subscription-manager subscribe
Error: This command requires that you specify a pool with --pool or use --auto.

[root@jmolet-vm0 ~]# subscription-manager unsubscribe
Error: This command requires that you specify one of --serial or --all.

[root@jmolet-vm0 ~]# subscription-manager environments
Error: This command requires that you specify an organizaiton with --org

[root@jmolet-vm0 ~]# subscription-manager import
Error: This command requires that you specify a certificate with --certificate.


subscription-manager repos will now default to --list, see Bug 811594 .
