            Bug ID: 220759
           Summary: jail -i / -q  is not acting as described
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: heinz@project-fifo.net

The manual for jail read:

     -i      Output (only) the jail identifier of the newly created jail(s).
             This implies the -q option
     -q      Suppress the message printed whenever a jail is created, modif=
ied
             or removed.  Only error messages will be printed.

however, this does not reflect how jail behaves. In addition to error messa=
ges,
it also prints all output from, for example, 'exec.start'.

This can lead to the output of jail being rather odd, and hard/impossible? =
to
parse and it seems in conflict with 'Only error messages will be printed.' =
as
the output from 'exec.start' is not an error.

That all said I can see why this happens, I suspect the output of exec.star=
t is
not considered to be output from the jail command. It is however pointed to=
 the
same FD (stdout) so I think for all intents and purposes, as anyone calling
jail the output comes from jails.

This bug can simply be reproduced by creating a new jail using the -i option
and adding exec.start=3D"echo hello".
