`-s' `--silent' `--quiet' Silent operation; do not print the commands as they are executed. *Note Command Echoing: Echoing.
Yes well you had better add a note that even though you might have used make -s insert_rods > master_reactor for years, when one day it becomes part of a recursive make, you might end up with make[2]: Entering directory `/electric_co/nordsby_facility' at the top of the output file. Same with `Leaving' at the bottom. Idea: If I have been given a -s, that means no Entering and Leaving messages too, no matter how much I want to blurt them out. Digging further we find `make' will not automatically turn on `-w' if you also use `-s', which says to be silent Then pray tell why `env` shows MAKEFLAGS=ws MFLAGS=-ws MAKELEVEL=3 Ok, adding --no-print-directory to the -s shut it up. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
