humm... playing with this futher.
What should this do:
autotest-rpc-client host list badhost goodhost
It will fail to find "badhost" but it will find "goodhost".
One can make the argument that the command failed to find ALL systems and
should exit non-zero. But on the other hand it did find some and so wasn't a
"total failure". Is there the need for a "tri-state" exit??
0 - all systems listed found
1 - no systems listed found
2 - some systems listed found

Yes, you have a valid point. IMHO
$ autotest-rpc-client host list
should return zero even if not hosts are listed, but when asking for a specific
non-existing host like you did, should return non zero.
Care to send a patch?
Thanks,
