Re: [Fab-user] Limiting stdout

[Juan Fuentes]

Try using apt-get -q supreses the progress indicators. or -qq which only reports errors.

Probably it is better to control your dpkg command to minimize the output.

Similar things for wget like, in fabric, we are used to use "wget -nv" to disable the progress printout 

my thoughts..

Yes, but as far as I can tell, I can only hide all of stdout with the settings. I don't want to do that. I want Fabric to be smarter about the output. Ideally, it would be nice if it waited until a real newline was sent by the target, instead of apparently injecting one. In a bash script I have that does something similar, I just get this output:

(Reading database ... 98555 files and directories currently installed.)

Preparing to replace some-package 1.2.3+45 (using some-package_1.2.3+56.deb) ...

That's really all I want to see.

have you seen this part of the docs http://fabric.readthedocs.org/en/1.2.0/usage/output_controls.html#hiding-and-or-showing-output-levels You can do 

with settings(hide(...)):

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.
