Darran Lofthouse commented on WFLY-2305:
----------------------------------------

The actual problem here is that --silent=true is not a valid argument, the valid argument is --silent

[darranl at localhost bin]$ ./add-user.sh --help
Usage: ./add-user.sh [args...]
where args include:
    -a                                  If set add an application user instead

                                        group properties is specified then user 
                                        properties MUST also be specified).

    -p, --password <value>              Password of the user. Should not be 
                                        same as the username

                                        management interfaces (default is 
                                        "ManagementRealm")

    -s, --silent                        Activate the silent mode (no output to 
                                        the console)

    -e, --enable                        Activate the silent mode (no output to 
                                        the console)

    -d, --disable                       Activate the silent mode (no output to 
                                        the console)

{noformat}

I will add unofficial support for an argument --silent=true.
