That works; I had the following which used to work function get_option_list { # get the options for a choice local option=$1; # assume options are specified as [--option1 | --option2 | ...] OPTIONS=$(${VIRSH} --help ${option} 2> /dev/null | grep '|' | sed -e 's/.*\[\(.*\)\]/\1/g;s/|//g') }
which would do completion on the arguments for a command. However, it's now gone up the spout with the new release Thanks Geoff 2009/10/6 Chuck Short <chuck.sh...@canonical.com> > What if you just do the following virsh --help? > > Regards > chuck > > ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) > Status: New => Incomplete > > -- > virsh --help {option} no longer works in shell > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/400404 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber > of the bug. > -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Geoff Low 187 Radstock Way Merstham Surrey UK RH1 3NQ Ph: 01737817798 Mb: 07817754159 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- virsh --help {option} no longer works in shell https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/400404 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
