Ah yeah, this seems like an enhancement we should add. thanks for this report, and I'll attempt to get it built-in at some point.

Thanks! Also, it'd be very nice to see the node name returned at the end of the run. (Not seeing it is one reason why it took me a while to realize it was getting that "vra-" name.)
