[Fab-user] Limiting stdout

[Chris Koch]

I'm issuing a 'run' to a target Ubuntu machine to execute dpkg to install a package. The output I get looks like this:

[ubuntu] out: (Reading database ...

[ubuntu] out:

Is there any way to filter out all those percentage lines, or at least not insert a newline at the end, so that it mimics the output of a direct execution?

Thanks.
