I think you may have misunderstood.
I only want to filter unmonitor commands which are done via a script, so
I'd like to pass a --quit or --silent flag which suppresses alerts.

When a human performs an unmonitor, then they would not pass this flag, and
alerts would be generated, so you know it was done manually.
