That is a very clunky interface. I suspect it is partly that way because "-y and -n" are already used in dumpadm(1M) to determine if savecore should run or not and -u is already used to mean update. Instead of "-z y" what about -Z Instead of "-z n" what about -U Or "-S compress" "-S uncompress" "-S" denoting "savecore options". -- Darren J Moffat
