## 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 By‐
       obu, without the potentially distracting status indicators and eye candy.

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