All -- This seems like something that should be obvious, but it's got me stumped: is it possible to tell zypper to run and display results, but _not_ to display its progress along the way? I have 50+ machines for which I need to collect update status on a day to day basis, for distribution (via email) to admins. This wouldn't be a big deal, except for the silly status summary. The normal output of zypper looks like this: ------------- ~> sudo zypper lu * Reading repository 'oss' cache * Reading repository 'non-oss' cache * Reading repository 'updates' cache * Reading installed packages [100%] Repository: | Name | Version | Category | Status -------------+--------------------+---------+----------+------- updates | libiniparser-32bit | 4488-0 | optional | Needed updates | openmotif22-libs | 4540-0 | optional | Needed --------------- But, when the output is piped to a file, it ends up creating a seperate line for each update to the progress "spinner", or percentage. Which is ugly, and a little unreadable. I've tried "zypper -q", and that still outputs the progress meters... Anyone?
