Description

It would be useful to have a flag to silently ignore failure of any given command. The flag should be the same for all commands.

We have had this discussion before (there is a previous bugzilla entry about it where we decided to put it off for now). Can you provide an example of how you would use a feature like this?

Sorry, been a while since I've used nALFS ... I don't remember exactly, and am away from my home PC for an extended period, so can't dig up notes.

I remember that it was something obvious, and frequent. I don't remember now if I was

able to work around by extending the command to add '
echo it failed' type command. I

am sure if people have discussed this, that whatever issue I encountered has been explored.

I do still think it would be useful, as I seem to recall that putting extnded commands into the ALFS XML syntax was difficult. However, since I am not looking at using nALFS in the near future, I do not hold a strong opinion of how others should implement it ;)

Thankyou for your reply.
