Description
Please provide a "-nologo" switch for the VBoxManage command line tool, to reduce the output on the command line (suppress the first 3 output lines) when the tool is used within a script (e.g. in a Windows Batch file).

But when I redirect the output to nul, I don't get any output at all. Even error messages are not displayed (in Windows).
e.g. the commands:
VBoxManage xyz >nul VBoxManage modifyvm x -ostype x >nul
do not produce any output. This is not acceptable.

Sorry, the forum software made one line out of two lines. Correct lines:
VBoxManage xyz >nul
VBoxManage modifyvm x -ostype x >nul

Yes, I agree that there should be a -nologo switch. Not sure when we will get around implementing this so a patch would be very welcome.
You can achieve this now by diverting the output from VBoxManage to /dev/null (Linux) or to nul (Windows).
