Paul, you should have tried that: The -r switch has a mandatory argument and is not just a bare switch, so be sure to keep the r right before the "perl" argument when coalescing options. "portmaster -dfr perl" should work, as should "portmaster -d -fr perl", or "portmaster -fr perl -d" $ grep getopt /usr/local/sbin/portmaster | grep -v ^# while getopts 'BCDFGHKLPRabde:fghilm:nop:r:stvwx:y' COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENT ; do meaning that e, m, p, r, x options take a mandatory argument. Just standard getopts business shared by most POSIX shell utilities. HTH Matthias
