Derek Baum commented on FELIX-2661:
-----------------------------------
> It is not clear that "-i" is a good alias for "--nointeractive"...
aliases are a single letter, so -n would be ambiguous with --noshutdown.
Often CAPS are used for single letter inverse options (-I), but in this case I
don't think that there's any need for an alias.
Aliases are generally used to save interactive typing. The full long option
name is preferred in scripts as it is self-documenting, rather than wondering
what the -i or -ni option does. Long options can be abbreviated to their
shortest unambiguous form, e.g. --noi and --nos.
So shall we just remove the -i alias for --nointeractive?
> [Gogo] It should be easier to start Gogo shell non-interactively

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-2661
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Gogo Shell
> Affects Versions: gogo-0.6.1
> Reporter: Richard S. Hall
> Assignee: Derek Baum
> Fix For: gogo-0.8.0
>
>
> To start the Gogo shell non-interactively, you have to specify a dummy
> command and tell it not to shutdown in its configuration...something like
> this:
> gosh.args=--noshutdown -c noop=true
> This is not necessarily the most straightforward approach and it also results
> in the gosh_profile being executed and the MOTD being displayed, which
> doesn't really make sense in the non-interactive use case.
> It seems like it would be better to have an explicit flag to tell the Gogo
> shell to start up non-interactively (e.g., --noninteractive), which would
> also imply not shutting down, but wouldn't require a dummy command, nor
> execute the gosh_profile.
