in other news, the other day i was fed up with a command-line tool's lack of documentation because i tried man <command>, info <command>, <command> -h, and <command> --help to no avail, and went on the forums to complain only to find that i should have entered <command> help.

i feel like at the least, when you enter no arguments for a command that requires them, it should print out basic usage instructions including what the help flag/command is

(but it's a FreeBSD server so maybe that's just the style idk)

#cli #CommandLine

@nev Nah, FreeBSD is pretty good about documentation. https://docs.freebsd.org/en/

I'm curious as to what command this is. I've seen that syntax with some commands but not usually with OS-related ones on any *BSD.

@ND3JR oh, it's not strictly OS-related, it's a web host's utility script for doing various things over ssh like starting/stopping processes
