How not to see EnergyPlus terminal outputs

Hello,

I am currently using EnergyPlus/pyenergyplus to train my RL controller, which requires repetitive runnings of EnergyPlus. Along the subsequent simulations, I hope to skip the terminal outputs from EnergyPlus. However, I couldn't find one.

Is there anyone who knows how to deal with such situation?

@jay just to confirm, you want to run EnergyPlus simulations but NOT have a terminal or command window open to give status updates during each simulation?

Hello Aaron, yes. This is because I am using EnergyPlus environment for RL agent training; so, I currently don't need to see how the simulation is going (e.g., warming up & Performing Zone Sizing Simulation).

What operating system are you using? For example, on Linux/Mac, you can redirect the EnergyPlus stdout and sterr to /dev/null by adding >/dev/null 2>&1 to the end of your command. There are similar commands on Windows.

Hello Scott,

I attempted to execute the command, but it was unsuccessful. This may be due to my access to the shell command from Python, which disregards the following command.
