Figure out if Amap, Kalign and Probcon can have a quite option to stop output to screen. I know Amap specifically writes output to STDOUT, but this could be redirected to a file and then read back in if required while STDERR is redirected to /dev/null.

According to the mail list:

Sendu is planning on adding a quiet() method for anything implementing WrapperBase. Would that help?

It may well help. However, if I remember correctly, I think some actual data is printed to STDOUT…..although this might be meta-data for eye-balling/interpreting results manually - I’m not familiar with these programs. Hopefully, the tests will catch anything that breaks!
