Description
Version and Operating System
tkn Version:
0.8.0
Expected Behavior
I want to automate task/pipeline runs with tkn.
So i want to be able to do smth like
run_name=$(tkn p start -o name pipeline_name)
tkn pr logs -f $run_name
exit $(tkn pr status $run_name)
or shorter
tkn p start --showlog --watch pipeline_name
So it would be nice to add:
- option "only output a name of new created run" to run command
- status command to find out how run ended
- optionally: add "watch and exit with run status" option to run command
I know that i now can get all data from pipeline run body, but name/status fields seem to be standard enough to deserve separate call in command line.

Define completion around a run-name-only output option, a status command with an exit result, and optionally watching with the run status; verify the resulting commands support automation as shown.
