208 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:
