Hi,
Is it possible $subject? If so - please share how.
currently there is no "user-friendly" way to disable it, can you elaborate please why do you need that?
I tried to find the file which rhevm-shell would open using:
# rhevm-shell -c -d ...(no luck) # lsof | egrep -i 'rhev|shell' ...(no luck)

If I may interject.... 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. Also it doesn't help that rhevm-shell does a "clear" of the screen when it runs (can I turn that off too?) 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.

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 actually didn't know that (just starting to use rhevm-shell)...this will prove very helpful! Thanks!
