Yes, that's right. Alternatively, you can just pass -p and it will prompt for the password.
If I had to guess, this is a buggy implementation of the code to elide the password from the comm of the process (so you don't see it in ps aux, I think). I wonder if it doesn't recognize the space between -p and the password, so it treats the password as a positional argument. Oddly, if I build the same source without the flags we pass during the .deb build, I don't get this behavior. While annoying, there is an easy workaround for now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1668903 Title: mongodump "too many positional options have been specified on the command line" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mongodb/+bug/1668903/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
