Now, think this:
    You have 30 servers.
    You notice a problem.
    You need that command, whatever that is.
    Consult manual page, yay (Wow, or "Ugh")
    <blink> there is EXMAPLE, options and - Hurray: Copy/Paste and use.

You don't necessarily have full blown "environment" in front of you, so we need both

    * Full command line exmaples. They are commadn line options after
      all
    * And configuration examples

The more copy/paste ready, the better. The more FAQ like, the better. Let's make FAQs obsolete.

Thansk for the examples, I'll be revising the patch Jari
