Thanks for the reply. There isn't a move to long forms in general, so 
for example -u still works for --unlock, -s still works for --status, -w 
still works for --setwaketime. It's only -l that no longer works for --lock.

The dev's consistency argument is that -l means --logfile, which no 
longer is accepted as an argument to myth apps. My counter-argument is 
that -l never meant --logfile *in mythshutdown* - it was only that for 
other apps like mythbackend, mythfrontend. Stopping -l meaning --lock in 
mythshutdown due to a change in other apps like mythbackend, 
mythfrontend etc. seems illogical to me.

Any other thoughts?

Cheers,

John
