*Sigh*
Add a -q option for "quiet" operation. Nothing gets out (not even stderr, since that's tossed to stdout for capture in the .how file). It's a good idea to use -l to get the log in case there are problems. Maybe this should be the default and add a --verbose option to get the stdout? There's way too much junk output.
