Quiet mode

[hickford]

Hi. Many apps have a quiet mode -q or --quiet that only prints in case of error. How about a quiet mode for Hugo? I'd find this useful for a cronjob.

It wouldn't be hard to write. It's as simple as changing how JWW outputs things when --quiet is set... That said, it's easy enough to use the standard way of doing this >/dev/null 2>&1 which cron itself recommends to silence the output (by redirecting the output of your program to /dev/null)

@spf13 it isn't as easy at it seems. As discussed in the corresponding pull request (#2017) jww.FEEDBACK is used often but is completely independent from the log level and prints straight to the console. Quiet would mean that those messages would be suppressed. Only jww.ERROR and jww.FATAL should be shown.

Thanks. I've been using chronic as a workaround https://joeyh.name/code/moreutils/
