## NAME

byobu-silent- Silence all of Byobu's status indicators, eliminate the hardstatus line, and the window list

## USAGE

byobu-silent \[--undo\]

## DESCRIPTION

**byobu-silent** will disable ALL of Byobu's status indicators, eliminate the hardstatus line, and the window list.

Some administrators, in some environments, at some times may prefer a very minimal, quiet Byobu, without the potentially distracting status indicators and eye candy.

**byobu-silent** implies **byobu-quiet**.
