I would like to use hammer to search all hosts matching a certain search
spec, and dump that in to a text file to be used by another script.
For example this gives me all the hosts that have the hostgroup "foo" and
that have "bar" in their name:
hammer --csv host list --per-page 9999 --search "bar and hostgroup = foo".
This command asks for a username and password, and then outputs a nice csv
formatted list of hosts matching the search spec.
However, if I try to redirect the ouput to a file this does not work, as
the usernam and password prompt gets lost.
I can of course add -u and -p options, but I would rather not have my
password visible on the prompt.
So is there a way to redirect the output of hammer to a file, while at the
same time still have it prompt for a password?

I'd file an issue for us to prompt for username/password on stderr,
instead of stdout. I think that's a pretty typical thing to do.
Foreman
Password visible on the CLI isn't ideal, but if you put a space before
the command at least most shells won't add it to the history.
You should also be able to store the username/password combo in a config
file in your home directory.
