´
backup:~ # bbstoreaccounts
Usage: bbstoreaccounts [-c config_file] action account_id [args]
Account ID is integer specified in hex

What I mean is that the help isn't really helpfull, escpecially compared
to the relatively long help text of other commands:

dustpuppy:~ # bbackupctl
Usage: bbackupctl [-q] [-c config_file] <command>
Commands are:
  sync -- start a syncronisation run now
  force-sync -- force the start of a syncronisation run, even if
SyncAllowScript says no
  reload -- reload daemon configuration
  terminate -- terminate daemon now
  wait-for-sync -- wait until the next sync starts, then exit

I recon just adding the sample lines for the commands like setlimit etc.
would be nice ... ;)
