Moe and Don,

It looks like changes were made to the man pages. However, --switch is 
still used for the info, usage, and help strings. The attached patch fixes 
those.

Rod,
 
It looks like a decision has already been made to favor ?switches?.  See 
commit 4addebfed2 on Jan 11, 2012.

Par, 

I am the author of this so the inconstancy is my fault. 

The table of options uses switches, but the --help and usage strings use 
switch. 

I think the correct one should be switches. I will be happy to make the 
patch if you agree.

The option to srun/salloc/sbatch to select number of switches is in some
places documented as --switch, and in other places as --switches.

I would like to write a patch to make this consistent. Which one is it
supposed to be?

--switch is used in:
       * NEWS file
       * srun/salloc/sbatch --help
       * ../doc/html/topology.shtml

--switches is used in:
       * RELEASE_NOTES file
       * srun/salloc/sbatch man-pages
       * source code getopt calls

Since --switch is an abbreviation of --switches both will works, so this
is only a documentation issue.

Regards,
Pär Andersson
