The first arg of brutessl is the file from which to read the config info. "-" is a unix convention for the file "stdin".
OK - I dig this, but brutessl on my Linux box is still complaining about usage...(sorry about the bandwidth but I assume other people are probably having similar problems)
++ nice -20 brutessl - usage: brutessl [-q] <filename> <checksum> <start segment> <no of segments> brutessl [-q] -r <filename> [<no of segments>] brutessl [-q] -t [<hours>[:<minutes>]]
Use 'nice -20 brutessl -- -' instead. The '--' tells getopts() not to parse anything else as arguments, then the next '-' will be interpreted correctly.
