Hi, Currently the ovirt-shell displays command results using a pager. It does this even when running non-interactively (ie. input via pipe) which is broken.

As a workaround, I discovered the option 'cli:autopage = False' should be placed in my .ovirtshellrc file. This works great the first time, but then it seems ovirt-shell is overwriting this file and dumping my new setting. What am I doing wrong here?

If I try a command in the shell such as: for i in `seq 1 10`; do echo "show vm myvm-$i" | ovirt-shell -c done the pager is invoked for each iteration and I must press 'q' for each iteration of the loop to continue.

> btw is it possible that your ovirt-shell is outdated?, take the latest from pypi. It's possible. I am using the Fedora package (ovirt-engine-cli-3.2.0.5-1.fc17.noarch).

Is there any documentation on the allowed options in the .ovirtshellrc file?
