I believe it helps to show unexpected output rather than ignore it because you did not expect any. It's very frustrating to see a tool exit with RC=28 and maybe even report "File not found" where the original messages would have told me *which* file was missing. It's not always that simple, so I did this one a while ago: http://rvdheij.wordpress.com/2008/12/19/conditional-output-of-cms-commands/ The advantages of a generic interface are obvious. If we were to design the CMS again now that we have CMS Pipelines, nobody would care about STACK, FIFO, LIFO, and STEM options for various commands. | Sir Rob the Plumber
