Is it possible to disable echoing query results to stdout in MySQL client?

Question

I am using MySQL client interactively from a remote host. Is there anyway to mute the output of queries and save the output to a file instead?

Using tee command in MySQL can save the output to a file but can't disable echoing.

Answer 1

I found the solution using the pager command to start logging to a file instead of stdout and nopager to reset the default output:

pager cat >> my_output_file
