Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
—
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.7
subscription-manager-1.28.32-1.el8.x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.9
subscription-manager-1.24.51-1.el7_9.x86_64
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
—
1. On a RHEL 7 or RHEL 8 server that is using subscription-manager, execute subscription-manager command piped to less that would provide a long output.
2. Exit the less early with minimal scrolling and/or none
3. Output will be presented to the user like the examples provided above
Expected results:
—
Expect if subscription-manager command is piped to less that it would close correctly and not provide a `Network error` or `Broken pipe` output.
