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.

It's possible.  I am using the Fedora package
(ovirt-engine-cli-3.2.0.5-1.fc17.noarch).

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