   @carcinopithecus absolutely - I edited a batch job some time ago to change it from short style parameters because it was the 2nd time I had had to check the man to get a clear idea of what the command was doing. My manager confusedly asked me why I did that. :sighs:

     requesting anyone who reads this that the next time they have to tell someone what to type in a linux console command with a bunch of parameters

     and if the parameters have short and long versions

     and the long ones are actual words or even easily recognizable abbreviations

     please use the long ones
