Undocumented and inconsistent behaviour of multi-valued registry entries
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DAEMON-240
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-240
Project: Commons Daemon
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Procrun
Affects Versions: 1.0.8
Reporter: Sebb
The behaviour of option processing for multi-valued registry entries is partly
undocumented, and inconsistent.
--Option and ++Option are only documented in the context of a single invocation
of procrun.
The documentation should be updated to clarify that ++Option can be used in a
separate invocation of procrun (update service) to append values to the
registry.
==
The documentation implies that --Option resets the value.
This is only true if the ++Option is not used at the same time - if the
++Option is used anywhere on the command-line, then all the options are
appended to any existing value in the registry.
The behaviour of mixed --Option and ++Option should either be fixed so that
--Option clears any existing settings, or the existing behaviour should be
documented.
