Ok, so I have reviewed the code and the command line parsing is a bit
odd...  It separates options to commands and flags.  -ui is a flag,
which is not entirely obvious.  Options which seem to be interpreted as
commands are -sl, -slid, -s, -u, -v or category/port.  Other options are
treated as flags -l, -ui, --resume, etc...

So, "portmanager -u -ui" seems to do what you want.  I might break down
and rework the parsing code eventually, as I have had other complaints
about the way options are handled...
