[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

If to request information about not existent disk with "QUIT command" at
the end of request, Parted asks from "my programm": "Need to try again to
get request information?".
I and "my programm" think, that Parted already had that answer = "quit"!

Please, remove any interactive events from output if "--machine" parameter
exists!

============ Output ===================
root <at> machine:/home/user# parted --machine /dev/sdz print quit

The correct thing to do is to use --script, it won't prompt for things
and will default to the 'safe' answer. You also don't need quit
there, it is implied by the end of the commands you pass to parted.
