how to remove banner (solved)

Hi

I have created a progress program that runs through xinetd and that works without problems.
The problem is that my program is talking to another process through a port and the other process cannot handle the banner that progress is outputting when connected.

My question is
How to remove the banner when starting the mpro process?

I know the workaround

move $DLC/version to $DLC/version.old
touch version
move $DLC/hello to $DLC/hello.old
touch hello

But is there another way?

Running on suse 10.3, progress version 10.1A

I found the solution myself. I had looked and searched the progress knowledgebase without any luck but today was my lucky day.

To disable the Progress startup banner for a character client session in Progress just define the following variable on the environment:

Windows: SET DISPBANNER=no
Unix: display_banner=no;export display_banner
