The manual/ manpage for portsnap(8) and its use of 'command' is precise *and* entirely consistant with roughly 40(!!) years of Unix documentation history. (see, for instance, the 'mt' manpage, which existed before 6th Edition Unix.) And, of course, if one follows/accepts jb's "reasoning", that which follows the '-c' parameter on a shell invocation is not a command. nor is that which follows '-exec' on a 'find' invocation. nor is that which follows the 'exec' command. ` *snicker*
