There should be a global option --terse, which should: * imply --quiet * show only result that can be used by scripts (e.g. if the result is a table, show only the table, nothing else) * show all tabular output without header and decoration, just values separated by some separator (can default to some and can be specified in --terse maybe) * etc. so for list-patches, you would do this to achieve what you need: $ zypper --terse lp | awk '{print $2}' because $ zypper --terse lp openSUSE-11.1-Update softwaremgmt 473 recommended Needed and you could do this for many other zypper commands. How about that? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
