Hi Tony.
What exactly do you mean by "attempt to upgrade"?
That it temporarily moves the bin dirs somewhere else (but then recovers)?
Or something else?
And, is it only a problem in v3 or also in v2plus?

Hi Igor,
I mean that it treats "--help" as the condor path and attempts to perform the upgrade. I was saved from having to fix any problems only because I use privilege separation and I was not running as root. (Yes, I knew I wasn't root and that if I attempted to upgrade as any other user than root it would fail. I was merely trying to get the usage statement without having to dive into code.)
This is a problem for all versions.

I looked at the code, and it should fail with an error message before touching anything on disk.
So, not sure what problem we are trying to solve here (just better error messages???)
