If you had actually read the usage output you'd have seen that 'command' 
is not in square brackets, which means it's mandatory. Ergo, with your 
version of varnishadm, the command is required on the command line and 
interactive usage is probably not possible.

You should not assume that whatever's working in 2.1 will apply to 2.0 
just because it's not mentioned in the documentation for 2.1. You should 
use the documentation for your version. Lacking that, "man varnishadm" 
on your system would be quite useful.
