Summary0000847: error handling: grammar validation errors
DescriptionAs soon as there is a parsing problem in what is provided on pfcmd's CLI, we spit out the help with no error message. This is already confusing but its getting worse when its the web admin that uses pfcmd. The result is that it silently fails!

We should report grammar parsing errors to the CLI with a message like invalid parameters passed or something like that.

Plus, we should provide a line # to trigger the error reporting code of the web admin (its a hack, we know but before proper error handling its the best we can do).

fixed in monotone branch 1.9 rev no: 5e5455631a96474880d38d3e4330e38d1543e7b3

Was not applied to 1.8 because of potential problems with internal use of pfcmd not expecting a different message.
