<!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I use the --quiet option but then the output changes from<BR>
<BR>
tracing patch 1<BR>
tracing patch 2<BR>
<BR>
etc...<BR>
<BR>
to tracing patch 1 and then only flipping this number and not rewriting the line.<BR>
<BR>
So it does not respect the --quiet option completely...<BR>
<BR>
And the 2> /dev/null option seems to work, now my script can run in the background and I can keep working.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>

GRASS modules send informative messages to stderr, not stdout - so adding<BR>
2>/dev/null<BR>
(Bash shell syntax) should work. But have you tried r.le.patch --quiet<BR>
first of all? I'm not sure if r.le.patch respects the --quiet setting, but<BR>
redirecting stderr to /dev/null definitely will work.<BR>
