Hmm....you've kind of come up with a unique way to write CLI scripts. The CLI 
is currently written to allow commands to be specified in a command-file, and 
run the commands in that file using the "-f" options. So in this example, you 
would have a file, say "snap_delete", that contains:

revert:/dev/evms/snap_racine:
revert:/dev/evms/snap_boot:
revert:/dev/evms/snap_usr:
revert:/dev/evms/snap_var:
revert:/dev/evms/snap_tmp:
revert:/dev/evms/snap_home:
commit

and then run this file using:

evms -v1 -f snap_delete

In "-f" mode, the CLI will not prompt for confirmation after each command, 
but will instead just assume the default choices. This would be the same 
behavior that you achieved with the above bash script.
