Hello Andreas,

Sorry for the late reply.

sosreport is in fact designed to silently ignore situations where commands
issued are not available. So I do thing, as you suggest, that a Recommend
would be more suitable in that context.

I will do my best to fix that as soon as possible.

Kind regards,

...Louis
