Package: mbuffer Version: 20110119-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I'd like mbuffer to be quiet. It insists, however, on printing out statistics if I also suppress error messages. Consider: Plain: us@forster:~$ echo | mbuffer summary: 0.0 kByte in 0.0 sec - average of 0.0 kB/s -q suppresses statistics: us@forster:~$ echo | mbuffer -q But used in combination with -l /dev/null, the statistics are again shown: us@forster:~$ echo | mbuffer -q -l /dev/null summary: 0.0 kByte in 0.0 sec - average of 0.0 kB/s Just using -l /dev/null doesn't help either: us@forster:~$ echo | mbuffer -l /dev/null summary: 0.0 kByte in 0.0 sec - average of 0.0 kB/s Nor does redirecting stderr: us@forster:~$ echo | mbuffer -l /dev/null 2>/dev/null summary: 0.0 kByte in 0.0 sec - average of 0.0 kB/s (The reason I want -q and -l is that I want to suppress both the statistics and the possible broken pipe error message, which isn't really an error message. Perhaps the broken pipe error message could be suppressed some other way.)
