Admin.jar ... -shutdown with 'reason' not consistent with docs

Question

Doing admin.jar ... -shutdown reason "reason for shutdown" behaves as expected (and noted in the Appendix A). However, doing any of
-shutdown ordinary reason "reason to shutdown"
-shutdown force reason "reason to force"
-shutdown restart reason "reason to restart"
results in 'reason' (the word reason) being printed to the logs. This is either a doc bug (as well as the admin.jar -help usage text), or a programmatic bug. I'd say programmatic because 'reason' must be explicitly stated in the case where -shutdown is invoked with neither the force nor ordinary options specified. My guess is that -shutdown is looking for only two options.
Anybody else see this?

Answer 1

I am sorry - I should have been more clear...Yes, in terms of performing the shutdown/restart the command works fine. However, it is the aspect of writing the 'reason' to the log file that is not working correctly.
-shutdown reason "Doing default shutdown"
results in the message being place in the log.
-shutdown force reason "Doing forced shutdown"
results in the word 'reason' appearing in the log file.
-shutdown force "Doing forced shutdown"
results in the message appearing in the log.
So, the issue is that the option 'reason' must be explicitly declared when neither 'force' nor 'ordinary' are invoked, and the 'reason' is implied, when either 'force' or 'ordinary' is explicitly declared, as the following argument.
It seems that this is a problem with the way -shutdown is handling the options.
