    Problem Summary PG4C.00082 This IR claims that -p must be followed by an option argument.
    Problem Text
    This IR claims that -p must be followed by an option argument.

    The above test fails because of syntax error in the following command in
    the test case

    ExecWithPriv ALLPRIV renice -p -n 5 $pid > $CT_STDOUT 2> $CT_STDERR

    In the above command -p option is immediately followed by -n option
    instead of option argument to -p option. For POSIX.2 compliance it
    is necessary that -p option should be immediately followed by its
    option argument (in this case it is valid process id) otherwise it
    results in error. This is the reason for failure of the above test
    case.

    Review Response
    We recommend this request be refused.

    The -p option does not require an option argument. The pid
    that is specified is an operand. The renice command synopsis
    states on page 605,

    renice [-n increment][ -g| -p| -u] ID...

    If the -p option were to require an option argument, it would
    state [ -p ID ] instead. -p does requires an option argument
    in the obsolescent version, but only after the nice_value
    operand has been specified.

    renice nice_value[-p] pid...[-g gid...][-p pid...][-u user]
    renice nice_value -g gid...[-g gid...][-p pid...][-u user]
    renice nice_value -u user...[-g gid...][-p pid...][-u user]

    This is not the case in the test.
