Support --quiet mode for suppressing Drall output

[darthsteven]

At the moment, I'm trying to us drall to get a nice list of the sites that it has detected and is going to run commands on, doing something like this:

echo "Listing known unique sites:"
drall exec --drall-no-progress 'echo "* @@ukey"'

and hoping for the output:

Listing known sites:
* www.example.com
* www.something.se

Whereas I actually get:

Listing known sites:
Finished: www.example.com
* www.example.com
Finished: www.something.se
* www.something.se

I was wondering if you'd consider introducing a 'quiet' option to the command, so that I could silence those lines that start with Finished: ?

I'll take a look at this after I stabilize Drall v3. In the meantime, have you considered using drall site:directories or drall site:keys? For all the commands that exist, please see drall list.

[darthsteven]

Sure, okay, that could work, if there was a way to exclude the duplicates from drall site:keys.

[jigarius]

See if --drall-filter can help, e.g. drall --drall-filter=foo site:keys.

[darthsteven]

I've sorted it in another way. I'd argue that an option on drall site:keys that sets the unique option would be useful.

At this point, --drall-verbose is replaced with --verbose and the old issue of Drall's --verbose affecting Drush's verbosity has been resolved. I revisit all code that writes to console output and decide a level of verbosity for each. This will include:

• Calls to writeln()
• Calls to logger

There is even a possibility to add in a --quiet mode which will hide output that is normally visible. For example, cases where the user wants to hide all Drall-specific output and see just the output of the command that is being executed.

@darthsteven the feature you requested is now in 4.x.

drall exec --no-progress --quiet 'echo "* @@ukey"'

There are many other changes and improvements in version 4.x. You are invited to try the 4.x before a stable release is made.
