Hi, it's more a bash question than jenkins, but the point is, Jenkins calls the bash with -x option enabled, which also prints the invoked commands, with a "+" prefix You can disable it with with the "set +x" command form your script, try it with this snippet: """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" #!/bin/bash -x echo "prints the command as well" set +x echo "this just prints the echo's output" set -x echo "also prints the command itself again" """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" br, Zoltan On 04/11/2012 11:15 AM, David Aldrich wrote: Hi Some of my Jenkins jobs run bash shell scripts that are stored in Subversion. The scripts are quite complex and may contain 'for' loops: For example: for Simulation in $SimulationsList_1 do cd $SIM_PATH_1/$Simulation zip -qr $SIM_PATH_1/$Simulation'_'$BUILD_NUMBER * done The Jenkins console output for such a loop is quite noisy. For example, the 'for' statement is printed in every iteration. Is there a way of making a script command silent? For example, I would like to make the line containing 'for' silent.
