Rick;

I can send them a note. I don't about it being "pithy" but the documentation should be complete and correct at least.

Regards;

I just checked the command line version, using "--help", as you suggested, and the info is there, of course. I wasn't expecting that sort of default behavior. Nothing in the man page that warns about it. Somebody may want to consider adding that tid-bit to the man page. I thought the man pages were the main source of info for various commands etc., looks like it isn't. Guess I'll just have to be more careful. Another day, learn something new.

Yes, the man page should reflect the command better but the man pages
are often maintained by someone other than the maintainer of the command
itself.  In this case it appears that they ARE done by the same folk
(Canonical, Ltd.), so they should probably get a bug report.  The man
page does have a link:

Report bugs at https://launchpad.net/products/upstart/+bugs

If you have a chance, perhaps you should send them a pithy little note
about it.
