Hi Dave,
Thank you very much for the quick response! I fully agree that we should
follow the documentation and put the option flags first. But couple
individuals I work with think that, if it works for Linux, it should work for
everything else. Your answer helps me tremendously.
Thanks again,
Alan

I'd actually ask the opposite question - how come this works under Linux?
The documentation specifies that option flags should come *before* the
positional parameters (hostname, OIDs, etc) - and this is how I'd expect
it to work.
I suggest that putting the hostname first is broken, and shouldn't be
accepted on *any* system.
