From 7ac0fdbc4a7467ffdf54a96fa4dced11a6be22ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jose Castillo Date: Fri, 22 May 2020 11:30:28 +0100 Subject: Clarify default timeout for all plugins The default timeout for all plugins is 300, but the global timeout is set as -1 in the option list. This is because this timeout is unset by default. This patch attempts to clarify the -1 exposed to the user when using commands like 'sos report -l', via the option description as well as a note clarifying it in the man page.
