Fabric OS 3.x Document Addendum
Sets or clears shell quiet mode.
Syntax
quietmode [
newMode
]
Availability
All users (display)
Admin (set/clear)
Description
Use this command to affect the output displayed on the switch console (serial port or telnet
session). Note that enabling quiet mode does not suppress the error log display that is
controlled by syslog-related commands. Use the
syslog
command to determine the current
error log settings.
By default, quiet mode is off and all switch tasks send output to the console. Some output is
caused by asynchronous events, such as the fabric reconfiguring or by devices logging in.
When quiet mode is on, only output produced by shell commands is shown; all asynchronous
output produced by other tasks is suppressed. This is useful when driving a telnet session by
way of a script which cannot expect any asynchronous output. Error log messages are not
controlled by quiet mode settings.
Operand
The
newMode
operand is optional:
0
clears quiet mode; all tasks are displayed.
1
sets quiet mode; only shell commands are displayed.
Example
The following command displays the current mode, which in this case is off, and then changes
it to on:
