start sac "silently"
2007-02-23 04:50:28
Hi list,

I'm wondering if there is an easy way to start SAC silently, e.g. not
getting those lines:

SEISMIC ANALYSIS CODE [06/06/2005 (Version 100.1)]
Copyright 1995 Regents of the University of California

Would be net if there was a flag or command or something for this. (I'm
using Sac 100.1 on a linux machine)

Thanks,
Andreas

    Would sac > /dev/null behave properly? Perhaps if you have
    your sac actions scripted, you don't need to see stdout. I don't
    know if there is a dependency on SAC having control of the stdout
    pipe, though.

      Yes, that does the trick, but it throws everything away.

      But I'd like to have some of the output logged. Just not those startup
      lines.


      I blame my suboptimal scripting strategy for the fact that I do some
      operation to 100 files by doing a for loop and then starting sac for each
      file. So in my logfile I have those Sac starting message 100 times.

      Removing it in the source might be worth a shot, but I didn't compile SAC
      myself in the first place as the binaries just worked.

      Thanks,
      Andreas

        How about just piping SAC's stdout through a couple of
        grep commands:

        sac | grep -v "Version 100.1" | grep -v "Copyright" > logfile

        And maybe you want to pipe stderr instead of or in
        addition to stdout.

    In you bash profile (~/.bash_profile) or csh equivalent, add a line:
    export SAC_DISPLAY_COPYRIGHT=0

    Hope this helps.
