Anyone have any insight on -quietly- making calls to operating system

windows and unix. I have some second best solutions (such as treating
the
symptoms by turning the log on and off at appropriate times to minimze
the
size of the log file) but was hoping to treat the disease.

. !ls -la >/dev/null
produces nothing but another dot prompt.
