Should period be in minutes or seconds?
It's supposed to be seconds, but since they're limited to being multiples of 60, I figure minutes is human friendlier. But juggling two separate systems of numbers is annoying.
If, like me, you are planning to use leadbutt to integrate it with your collectd scripts, it becomes a bit of annoyance to have to convert in between minutes and seconds. Since aws-cli and other utilities use seconds as unit (regardless of the limitation of multiples of 60) I believe it would be nicer to express it in seconds.
An alternative would be to allow for units in the parameter (such as -p 60s
)
:+1: If there's a human friendly format, it should be REALLY human friendly and have units.
