Description Dan Callaghan 2014-06-04 07:00:03 UTC

Description of problem:
When using Kerberos authentication, beaker-log-delete prints a line like

   Kerberos initialization for HTTP/hostname@REALM

This is a problem because we expect the admin to call this command in a cron job, and cron jobs should be silent unless something goes wrong. beaker-log-delete should therefore be silent by default, unless something goes wrong.

It could potentially have a --debug or --verbose option like some of the server commands, if that is desired.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.16.2

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure beaker-log-delete to use Kerberos authentication for talking to the archive server
2. Run beaker-log-delete

Actual results:
Prints output.

Expected results:
Silent unless failure.

Additional info:
I think the output comes from requests-kerberos.

Comment 2 Dan Callaghan 2014-06-04 07:08:16 UTC

I would like us to fix this ASAP since it is currently making it difficult to find failures in log-delete (which we are also experiencing, it seems).

Comment 3 Dan Callaghan 2014-06-04 07:19:16 UTC

Actually I just realised this output is probably from k5start. Need to figure out:

* do we document the use of k5start anywhere? if not, it should be
* can we pass k5start an option to suppress the message? if not, need to do something like redirect stdout to /dev/null... either way add it to the docs

It's -q.
