Description

Currently, executing some status commands in gfsh without valid parameters gives a vague explanation/output that might be misleading. Although we have help <command_name> for usage description, displaying 'null' as an output might not be the best idea.

Current Result

gfsh>status locator
null

gfsh>status server
Server in C:\Users\XXX\git\incubator-geode\geode-assembly\build\install\apache-geode\bin on null is currently not responding.

Improvement

gfsh>status locator
SYNTAX
    status locator [--name=value] [--host=value] [--port=value] [--pid=value]
Use help status locator to display detailed usage information

gfsh>status server
SYNTAX
    status server [--name=value] [--pid=value] [--dir=value]
Use help status server to display detailed usage information
