shell-command without output

shell-command without output

[Miguel Frasson]

Hi.

I am writing a major mode (frontend for a script) and I want to execute
shell commands, but *do not* read the output (unless I want, switching to an
output buffer, for instance).

shell-command always shows the output.

How to avoid that (no matter the script has output or not)?

[]'s

Look up `call-process-shell-command' in the Emacs Lisp manual.

redirect the output of the shell command to /dev/null

(like '<command> &> /dev/null')
