Rsync without any options or arguments is a usage error so the message is technically correct. It might be more precisely conformant to the documented usage to not output the usage message and just output the error but what would be the point? If you execute rsync -h no error is generated. I'd describe this as a user-friendly nit. Barely worth changing. -- ________________________________________________________________ J.W.
