31688 - No splash screen for -CreateProfile!

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Profile: BackEnd, defect, P2)

Description

[selmer (gone)]

When the -CreateProfile parameter is used, the app should run silently and quit 
when it's done with the profile creation.  Right now, the splash screen comes up 
when -CreateProfile is used.  This is bad because the main use for this 
parameter is to silently create a profile during an install-type situation.  If 
we throw up the splash screen in this circumstance, it will confuse users by 
appearing, disappearing, and then reappearing some arbitrary amount of time 
later.  This would be a Bad Thing (TM).

fixed. The fix checked in for this actually creates the profile and quits the 
app when -CreateProfile is used. In order to not see spalsh screen user has to 
use command line option -nosplash along with create profile option. Trying to 
move the processing of profile manager command line arguments prior to splash 
screen code is very messy and is not advisable.

So, one should say 'netscp6 -nospalsh -createprofile foo' to create profile foo.
