Description of problem: Since qpid 0.18, almost all qpid tools like qpid-stat, qpid-config or so have -b option to specify broker URL. qpid-tool does not, specifying the URL without an option. Since qpid-tool will have several other options (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=710429, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=895515 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=710429#c4), it makes sense to add -b to align it to other tools Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.18-* How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: qpid-tool -b localhost:5001 Actual results: Don't work Expected results: It works.

This was added with the patch for bug 710429. http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1471120
