oooh nice you pointed to a bug to the man page s/LOG/CFG/.
ok fixing in cvs.

ahh ok, yes i agree that would be cool,
but thats not related to test mode is it?

proposition:
-l CFG Overrule default logfiles list.
-L LOG Check this logfile only.

-t Test mode, does not update state file.
-T Do not remove the TMPDIR.

todd please push this test mode forward for next release?
as you said a "pure" test seems easy to implement and
is a nice feature!!!
we can have a look at the logfile change for post 21?

a++ maks
