-s is for silent mode
-v is for verbose mode
output destination is the destination directory

You may use any combination (-sv) or (-vs).

It is strongly advised to add ">/tmp/output.txt 2>&1" to capture the output if you run in silent or verbose mode.

For example:

# ./getcfg -s >/tmp/output.txt 2>&1 &

or

# ./getcfg -sv >/tmp/output.txt 2>&1 &

# tail -f output.txt

The above captures the output and runs the script in the background.

You may also leave out the mode flags to specify only an output destination. For example:

# ./getcfg casenumber output destination

This way you may run

# tail -f /tmp/output.txt

to view the results real-time while the getconfig completes.
