Hi,

If --portbase is omitted --adminport defaults to 4848 --instanceport defaults to 8080 , so it will show up in the command usage as default values.

I am working actively to discourage the practice of including the default value for options instead of a placeholder in the Synopsis section of man pages. This practice confuses users, who think that the default value is part of the syntax and must be typed literally as is. The convention of stating the default in this way is not widespread and is lost on most users. It has led to bugs being filed against man pages in the past.

Ideally, to prevent user confusion, and for consistency with the man pages, the usage messages from the asadmin subcommands should also avoid this practice.

Regards,
