Is there any chance this could be added to the --help output? An actual example would have been very useful.
Frankly, I'd prefer people (like you) that need to use these utilities manually, to search the net if they have problems, than spending hours debating about how long --help should be, what should be included in it and what not, what link we might provide for further reference (and please note that I didn't include such a link in my original reply - simply because I failed to find one that seemed "most suitable"), etc. That said, patches are welcome! If you think you can improve the current text in a conflict-free way, which everyone will agree to, please go ahead and push a patch! :-)
I'll take a look at doing that. I did google some before asking here, but there were very few hits for usage of pki-enroll-request.sh -- although I admit I did not try many different search terms. Most of the results were not ovirt related nor related to this script at all.
BTW: What I personally do, is to search the code and/or relevant logs to see what other tools (the engine, engine-setup, in this case) do, as "reference examples".
That presumes having ready access to (in this case) ovirt sources -- which you obviously do but I do not. As a user, I don't feel I should need to go refer to the sources to determine how a utility program should be properly used. IMHO that's what documentation is used for. However I will keep that in mind for my next issue ;) But I do understand your PoV -- for GnuCash I often reference the sources when answering people's questions. However that's a case where I am (or was) one of the developers so I do have the sources handy. :) Thanks again. I am all set now! -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 derek@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant
