I would suggest adjusting the script so that one *has* to give it an option, say 
either "--link" or "--change" (or something) to run properly, and without one or 
the other it would just give you the "--help" options. That would ensure we 
don't get posts like the OP's which turn up here about every 3 months or so.

Personally, I'd split the script into two, one for each job.
