title: Suppressing the output of a command run using 'system' method while running it in a ruby script
body: <p>I am not sure if this makes sense but I am thinking if there is a way to suppress the output shown for a command when run using the <code>system</code> method in ruby? I mean it should just output true or false to STDOUT and not the output of the command. What I think is it can just only be done if the command can run silently and not from the <code>system</code> method. Can someone provide a bit more insight?</p>
