I just encountered this problem yet again in your 7.2.0 release

>             Project: Application Server 7
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Domain Management, Security
>    Affects Versions: 7.1.2.Final (EAP)
>            Reporter: Samuel Doyle
>            Assignee: Darran Lofthouse
>             Fix For: 7.1.3.Final (EAP), EAP 6.1.0.Alpha (7.2.0.Final)
>
>
> ./add-user.sh dustin dustin1 does not work anymore. In previous versions it worked. It has to do with the "theConsole" object being null.
> In the same breadth, the --silent=true option in add-user.sh does not work anymore. Again has to do with the need for "theConsole" object being null.
> The --silent=true option was added because in some environments, System.console() returns null[for example when the Izpack installer calls that script] and the add-user.sh script breaks because of its dependence on System.console() object to print stuff.
> [the "theConsole" object calls the System.console() object]
