Symptoms

A command like the following was issued:

imexpire -f <file> <user ID>

Notice that the "-u" was accidentally omitted from the command. Refer to: https://docs.oracle.com/communications/F15020_01/doc.810/f15146/msadm_store_reference.htm#MSVAG2334

Without the "-u", the "<user ID>" on the command line was just unexpected junk.

Looking at the usage for imexpire, there is no combination in which a bare token is valid on the command line.

The imexpire command should recognize that there was unexpected junk on the command line and give an error; it should not start to do any work.
If a required option for the imexpire command is omitted, then imexpire should fail and give some type of error.
