| Description |
Currently R3 prints - a short banner when run with a script file or --do. - a full banner when running without a script but redirected I/O. Banner printing can be turned off by passing the -q / --quiet command line option, which I observe myself using all the time. As I find the banner to be at least not useful and at worst harmful in the above situations, I propose that unless run interactively, R3 defaults to being quiet. As redirected I/O may be hard to detect on some platforms, R3 should at least be quiet when running scripts. |

# --- current (A110) behaviour --- $ rebol3 --do 'print "hello"' REBOL 3.0 A110 2-Nov-2010/3:54:31 hello $ # --- suggested behaviour --- $ rebol3 --do 'print "hello"' hello |

This change has been made for scripts and for --do.
The sys-start.r logic is now: ;-- Print minimal identification banner if needed: if all [ not quiet any [flags/verbose flags/usage flags/help] ][ boot-print boot-banner ; basic boot banner only ] |
