Quiet option

[jamesdmorgan]

When using exec - would it be possible to add a -q quiet option so it just returns the value of the exec statement (omit the session info)

Or -s (silent) for a curl like approach

ret=$(aws-vault exec some-user -- aws-gate exec some-server "echo hello")

$ echo $ret
 Exiting session with sessionId: 1631645696961993000-0078449126a73e577.hello

I can get around it but it would be a more elegant solution.

Thanks!

Actually digging deeper this look like its aws/amazon-ssm-agent#358 so not at issue with aws-gate but more the ssm agent

Hello @jamesdmorgan,

thanks for the feature request. I think it would be quite useful for scripting options, e.g. when one is only interested in the return code only. Though, as aws-gate uses plugin underneath, I would like to avoid modifying aws-gate directly.

Though, if there is enough interest, I think it should be possible directly in aws-gate as we are able to modify the output as needed.
