help command fails while dns is not available

[lfuelling]

During a restart of my local DNS (the one the PDS server is using) I was unable to run the help command:

root@vm:~# pdsadmin help
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: raw.githubusercontent.com
ERROR: help not found

[sparksis]

Probably as expected as designed. The pdsadmin command downloads script for each of the top level commands account, help. This appears to be a way to ensure that the pdsadmin command is always fully up to date

To be honest, I'd expeect a cached version to execute in case the local DNS is down.

Whether it makes sense to pull down those commands at every run aside, I don't expect much of anything on a web-based service to work if DNS is down.
