Disabling the MOTD makes it easier to script...let's say if I want to get a list of
VMs' snapshots and out them in a for loop...I would have to write the output of the
rhevm-shell to a file; parse that file (oh BTW there are ^[[H and ^[[2 in that
file...just to make things more interesteing); then run it through my loop - and then
pass
that into rhevm-shell...repeating the process.
you don't have to write entire output of the shell to the file,
all shell commands supports output redirection to file/linux utilities
such as grep/etc. [1],
also in "script mode" printed limited MOTD (without welcome message)
if it still doesn't work for you, please file RFE (though i'm not sure it will
make to 3.3)
[1] list snapshots --vm-identifier aaa > snapshots.txt
for more details see http://www.ovirt.org/CLI#Scripting
Also it doesn't help that rhevm-shell does a "clear" of
the screen when it runs (can I turn that off too?)
this is done for create "visual" isolation between bash and ovirt shells,
not sure i understand how it related to the told above, but if you find it
usable, i don't mind.
I would have to do that for every command.
I don't mind having an MOTD...just wished there was an option to turn it off
In short: It makes it easier to script and automate tasks.
Thank you,

currently there is no "user-friendly" way to disable it,
can you elaborate please why do you need that?
