error code 1 failure

PowerTop actually returns an output when the "show pids in wakeups list" is not checked. However, when the option is selected it fails with an unclear error ("powertop command failed with exit code 1", see attachment).

Steps to reproduce

-Install eclipse headless build
-Configure Yocto ADT Settings
-Launch qemu
-Try to issue powertop wtih "show pids in wakeups list" checked. Connection should be set accordingly, TCF 192.168.7.2 to qemu


It seems like this functionality is linked to a -p option which the command doesn't seem to have (maybe it is an option that was dropped). This should be fixed, if the functionality is not to be used anymore then the option should not exist. At the very least the error message should be more descriptive about the failure.

Yocto tools are no longer being actively supported. We plan to replace most, but not all, of the functionality in the CROPS Eclipse plugin by leveraging Linux Tools, provided by Eclipse.
