There is no such flag currently - i'm not sure whether it's good idea to allow 
the CLI to suppress the action notification, as if the admin is interested for 
such notification for some reason, it's probably better to not allow the CLI to 
surpass it, otherwise everybody (script and human) can use the option to 
silence the warning and fool the admin.
