RE: qshell script to drop servers

I wrapper the call to QShell in a command.  The override of STDOUT
prevents that Unix-y QShell command screen from coming up.

NOTE: This command only works if your server name and instance name are
the same.  If that's not the case at your shop, you'll need to add an
additional parameter.  If you only have one instance, you can hardcode
the parameters, skip the command and just call the CL.

HTH.

Command:
