There is not general rule-of-thumb in suppressing output many commands support a (-q or --quiet) option but many do not. check your on-line manual for the particular command and if no quiet option is available you may have to redirect standard out.

For example:

Code:
mv /root/Desktop/lynis/plugins/* /etc/lynis/plugins/ > /dev/null 2>&1

But think carefully what you want to happen in the case of an error (eg the plugins folder is empty, you run out of disk space, etc). If no one is around to see or act on the error perhaps it needs to be captured to a file and emailed to someone who can deal with it later on.

vlock-plugins

VLOCK-PLUGINS(5)					     Linux Programmer's Manual						  VLOCK-PLUGINS(5)

NAME

       vlock-plugins - plugin support for vlock

DESCRIPTION

       If  vlock-main(8)  is  compiled with plugin support its default features are very limited: it can only lock the current session and ask for
       authenticiaton.	However it is possible to extend this functions through plugins.  These plugins are loaded when vlock-main starts and  can
       provide hooks that are called at certain points during the lifetime of the vlock-main process.

DEFAULT PLUGINS

       The following plugins are provided when installing vlock with default options:

       all

	      This plugin locks all sessions by disabling console switching.  It is also loaded when giving the -a,--all option to vlock(1).

       new

	      This  plugin  switches to a new virtual console before disabling console switching through the "all" plugin.  It is also loaded when
	      giving the -n,--new option to vlock(1).

       nosysrq

	      Linux only.  This plugin disables the Linux SysRQ mechanism before the console switching is locked by the "all" plugin.  It is  also
	      loaded when giving the -s,--disable-sysrq option to vlock(1).

ADDITIONAL PLUGINS

       The following plugins are only available if explicitely selected at build time:

       caca

	      This plugin runs a random libcaca screensaver when the screen is locked.

WRITING PLUGINS

       For information about writing plugins see the PLUGINS file in the vlock source distribution.
