Tools that are intended to be used in scripts often have fairly quiet default modes.
tar, cp, and many other *nix tools in that general realm tend to only speak up when something goes wrong, at least by default.
That said, I'm on your side and I think quiet mode should be the option with a reasonable human-friendly verbosity being default. Or even better, some form of detection of if it's being run interactively versus in a script.
- bombcar 5y agoExactly - it’s very possible to detect of being run interactively and at least provide a hint - or even when Ctrl-C is hit (I know some programs will print the status on ctrl-c and tell you to hit it twice to kill it). At least when exiting and saying 90% give a hint how you could have seen thy without killing it.
