Using the Silent Option

Most of the commands in the DOE-C Command Line Utility support the silent option, which suppresses all user prompts, and which, in general, you want to do for batch execution.

Before using the silent option (-sl|--silent), verify that suppressing user prompts does not have undesirable results.

Here are some examples that illustrate potentially undesirable results:

• getPackages -o pac.xml -sl – if pac.xml already exists, it is overwritten without confirmation.
• setPackageLogLevel -l DEBUG -i pac.xml – if pac.xml contains more than one package, the log level for all packages is set to DEBUG.
