[pve-devel] [PATCH v2 pve-manager] pvenode task log: don't hardcode 'limit' in CLI

[Dylan Whyte]

Removes the hardcoded '--limit' option when setting up the
'pvenode task log' command. This allows a user to control this option
themselves.

Signed-off-by: Dylan Whyte <d.whyte at proxmox.com>

changes from v1:
* leave the API default in place, and set value based on rpcenv.
* add the option's various defaults (GUI, CLI) to its description.
