I don't want to show OS-COMMAND output...

[nacho]

Hi everyone,

I have a problem with the data output from a OS-COMMAND statement. I don't want to show the output of this commands, because that output is printed out to the report that the application being executed return.

The commands are:

os-command silent value("find /home/example/ -type f -size 0 | xargs rm ").

and

os-command silent value("sh " + script-path + "ftp-up.sh " + file-name + " " + file-path).

The report is printed very frequently, so the extra space used by the footer that is been printed make the report more "paper-expensive".

Anyone has been on a similar situation?

I read the OS-COMMAND documentation, but can't find anything useful there to solve this issue. At least, I didn't see any.

Thanks for your consideration,

Redirect output of unix command to /dev/null

os-command silent value("find /home/example/ -type f -size 0 | xargs rm >/dev/null 2>/dev/null").

Also you should consider to call find, xargs, rm with absolute paths to avoid security risk (someone could place program named find in path before /usr/bin/find).

Works as expected, thanks a lot!

You are right about the security risk, but only system's department people has access to the server, so it's not that bad. Thanks anyway for the advise.
