[Pacemaker] possible regex error in "pcs resource enable/disable"

Andrew,

both be used for routine start and stop of resources, and other routine
tasks.

I am using pcs (almost exclusively) for my RHEL6.5 Pacemaker port.

But, I am **REALLY** hoping that I can present a relatively consistent
crmsh interface to the consumers of my HA work (customers, in-house
engineers) with RHEL and SLES installations. At least the in-house
engineers find the HA very confusing. This sort of a break will make it
impossible to ship with crmsh, thus continuing the confusion of two
distro specific interfaces.

Regards,
Bob Haxo
