Or, go hog wild on this....
Present a candidate string to the user to execute, instead of just
telling them to try again....
for example:
asadmin start-domain -domaindir /a/b/c myDomainName
There is no short option -d for the start-domain command.
Should I execute "start-domain --domaindir /a/b/c myDomainName", instead?
There are some obvious limits to how well this would work in the face of
multiple typos, etc....
The worst "limitation" would be making the asadmin command smart enough
to know when it was being run from a script instead of reacting to a
human actually typing commands in an interactive shell.
