This is still the case in initscripts 7.25-1 Actually, I think the usage: is wrong. Fixed in 7.31-1. Strike that, this is all sorts of wrong. Piggybacking this on another flame. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 85447 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030619 Description of problem: The command-line help for ppp-watch and the manpage for it have inconsistent descriptions of ppp-watch's command line options. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-7.24-2.92 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run "/sbin/ppp-watch" and read the usage output. (I know you're not supposed to do this unless you're ifup-ppp, but just bear with me here.) 2. Run "man ppp-watch" and read the first few lines. Actual Results: [root@i5000e root]# ppp-watch usage: ppp-watch [ifcfg-]<logical-name> [boot] [root@i5000e root]# man ppp-watch PPP-WATCH(8) PPP-WATCH(8) NAME ppp-watch - daemon to make PPP interfaces act more like other inter- faces SYNOPSIS ppp-watch interface-name [boot] DESCRIPTION [snip] Expected Results: The "usage" and "SYNOPSIS" shouldn't be *this* different: 1. Is it an interface-name or a logical-name? (And what *is* a logical-name, for that matter?) 2. Is the "ifcfg-" prefix permissible? (AFAICT it seems to be, so if that's the case, then it's the manpage that needs to be updated.) Additional info: Consistent documentation for ppp-watch might help me figure out what's going on with bug 97845 (and therefore might help me fix it).
