Package: timelimit Version: 1.3-1 Severity: normal Timelimit errors out when the arguments to the commands have leading -'s unless the command is prepended with '--'. Timelimit appears to eat up everything starting with a '-' until it consumes a '--'. Example:
thumper/~ timelimit -s9 -t5 netstat -rn timelimit: invalid option -- r timelimit: usage: timelimit [-q] [-S ksig] [-s wsig] [-T ktime] [-t wtime] command thumper/~ timelimit -s9 -t5 netstat -- -rn Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.4 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 thumper/~ timelimit -s9 -t5 -- netstat -rn Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.4 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 A simple fix would be to say in the man page (and the help) that the command must always be preceded by '--'. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages timelimit depends on: ii libc6 2.7-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries timelimit recommends no packages. timelimit suggests no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
