[ncl-talk] muting output to screen?

[Kyle Griffin]

Hi Joe,

You could also try running

ncl myscript.ncl > /dev/null

I haven't tried this explicitly, and it might be more "mute" than you were
intending.

Otherwise, you also have these NCL command line options.

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Manuals/Ref_Manual/NclCLO.shtml

-n will turn off the (0) and similar numbers at the start of the line.
Although the -p option looks interesting, I don't think that is relevant as
this printing isn't coming from a system(...) call.

Developers can chime in if there's some other way to assign NCL's
environmental pager to a null pager, but I'm not sure there's much else...

If you don't have write permissions for your NCL installation location, you can simply copy the code (including the undef("obj_anal_ic_deprecated) line above the function declaration) into its own file, make your desired changes, and load it at the bottom of your load statements for your script. Hope that makes sense, and let the list know if you need further help...
