Sure. But the synopses of a command often don't (or even cannot) fully express all possible arrangements of options and arguments. So the user ought to be forgiven (when possible) for trying some unspecified order. (When I forget the exact invocation of a tool, I normally tack a --help onto the previous attempt, and this usually prints the help text, ignoring any other options. It would be nice if that worked here too.) Also, the '--max' is obviously an option, why try to interpret it as a PID? Why make the tool obtuser than it needs to be? Benno
