            Bug ID: 253861
           Summary: service power_profile should conform to standards: act
                    on "describe" command
           Product: Base System
           Version: Unspecified
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: walter.von.entferndt@posteo.net

$ service power_profile describe
Usage: /etc/rc.d/power_profile [0x00|0x01]
Exitcode 1

Note: I could easily, but I do not, supply a patch.  Honestly IMHO the one =
who
wrote that script, and noone else please, should fix that.  The reason is t=
hat
I'm a little bit upset & sad about such bugs, because it's obvious that the=
 one
who wrote that script never tested it (a desc=3D"..." is in the script).=20
Supplying a patch for these kind of bugs fosters the Peter's principle, i.e.
people are promoted because they're doing good -> most people are overwhelm=
ed
with their duties.  I don't think it's wise to clean up after someone else,
while this one does the same mistakes over & over again in his/her next
projects.  Although that's typical in the business world, I'd be glad if it
could be done better in the FreeBSD project.

If it's complicated & hairy, hey, to err is human.  But when it's so simple=
, I
get nervous, to say it politely.

Regards
