Again: this is confusing! There should be one (and only one) command to show information. It should accept arguments to modify that output, e.g. default to brief info, -v gets a little more info, -vv gets all kinds of info, -p to get "parseable" output (or -f for "formatted"), etc. Having "status" and "show" give the same info in different formats will always be confusing. People won't remember which is which (because the works mean similar things in this context) and will run the wrong one for what they want about 50% of the time (which will just be frustrating). -- Chris Adams <cmad...@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
