Have you noticed the need to route /dev/null as input so that
     multi-page output will scroll to completion.

     TALK ABOUT PAIN...

     and the only thing I've found is large "egrep" statements to get clean
     output

     later,
           Dwight

     ps not sure if this has been fixed... it was bad enough altering all
     my scripts, adding "</dev/null", I'm not looking for the chance to
     remove it.

System: ADSM 3.1.1.2, F50/Aix 4.2.1

I'm trying to write some automation scripts in perl and am somewhat amazed
at how silly the redirection facilities are in dsmadmc.

The only way I can see of generating clean output (ie not contaminated by
copyright messages and other crap) is to use redirection in the command
itself to a temporary file.  This is *very* annoying as it makes my scripts
a bit more complex than they need to be.

Aside from using different "greps" to filter the output, has anyone managed
to get clean output from dsmadmc in batch?
