IMHO it would make sense to make two "delete" options then: --delete <ALL|tid=|targetname> It would only touch the target if it is not in use. ALL would delete all targets which are not in use; the targets which have initiators connected would not have its state changed (some informational message would be displayed to the user). --forcedelete <ALL|tid=|targetname> It would delete the targets irrespectively of their use. -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org |
