[Freeswitch-dev] Request for review/commit FS-3188 batchmode for fs_cli prior to feature freeze (From march 2011)

[Mitch Capper]

http://jira.freeswitch.org/browse/FS-3188

The script basically disables output of color codes / adds more
flushing to fs_cli so it can be externally used.  While ESL is
frequently a better solution there are some cases where external
dependencies are not desired.  One can also add some more robust
features to fs_cli without having to change the sources.  It was
created over a year ago and has not caused an issue that we have found
yet.  It was primarily done for fs_logger.pl (
http://jira.freeswitch.org/browse/FS-3945 ) a script meant to allow
for much easier one line commands for users looking to submit log
files for freeswitch.   As this tool is largely useful for new users
requiring them to first patch fs_cli prior to using it is a complex
step that would be nice to avoid.

The changes should have no real effect on fs_cli when the batchmode
flag is not passed to it.
