 Description   

This has been annoying me since forever. You should be able to start the db by saying:

$ bin/mongod

not having to say:

$ bin/mongod run

especially since passing any option at all eliminates the need for "run":

$ bin/mongod -v #starts the db

Released in 0.9.8

ok.

mike: make "run" optional
if you don't specify, print "mongod --help for help and startup options"

No other command line programs do this.

Users will not be expecting this behavior, they will be confused, and they won't like having to read through instructions just to start the db. If people are interested hearing what we have to say, they'll type --help or -? or something.

I think showing the options is good on just the server name. And allows us space to put important things there that people will see on first startup.
