Hi everyone,
Just to be complete, my final solution was:
parser = OptionParser()
parser.add_option("-m","--qmanager", dest="qmanager",
help="\t\tQueue Manager to inquire against"),
parser.add_option("-s","--server", dest="host",
help="\t\tHost the que manager resides on"),
parser.add_option("-c","--check", dest="check",
help="\t\tTest object if it is less/equal/greater"),
parser.add_option("-p","--port", type="string", dest="port",
help="\t\tPort queue manager listens on"),
parser.add_option("-o","--object", dest="object",
help="\t\tQueue object being inquired on"),
parser.add_option("-k", "--key",dest="key",
help="\t\tobject attribute to be inquired about"),
parser.add_option("-t","--to", type="string",dest="mto",
help="\t\te-mail address the report will go to"),
parser.add_option("-q","--quiet", action="store_false",dest="quiet",
help="\t\toptional - just returns the value"),
parser.add_option("-f", "--file",
action="store", type="string", dest="filename",
help="Pull command strings from FILE",
metavar="FILE")
parser.add_option("-d","--display",
action="store_false",dest="report",
help="\t\toptional - use sends output to e-mail")
(options, args) = parser.parse_args()
if options.filename is not None:
line = use_file()
(options,args) = parser.parse_args(line.split())
