[colin@jimmy Channel (master)]$ sudo systemctl stop --fodslkjsf httpd systemctl: unrecognized option '--fodslkjsf' [colin@jimmy Channel (master)]$ sudo systemctl stop --now httpd [colin@jimmy Channel (master)]$ If --now is irrelevant to the verb, then it should be the equiv of an unrecognized option. Bonus points if it issued a git-style "did you mean systemctl disable --now ..." error response.
