Description

When trying to use various commands block X, account X list is is not obvious what the problem is when they fail due to the account not being logged in. e.g.

22:08:58 @<blip2> account 0 list
22:08:58 @<root> Unknown command: account [...] list. Please use help commands to get a list of available commands.
22:05:16 @<blip2> root: block 0
22:05:16 @<root> Nick `0' does not exist

After logging in the command works as expected. Ideally should raise a more informative error message.

Hmm, what do you expect "account X list" to do? That command doesn't exist..

(Otherwise, fair enough. Error reporting is hard. I may get around to fixing that sometimes, but would also definitely welcome patches.)

<root> Available actions: add, del, list, on, off and set. See help account <action> for more information.

Try "account list".

"help account list" will show this, but I guess it would've helped to somehow point this out in "help account" already.
