Is it possible to start Syncthing without opening a browser automatically? All the configuration would be done by an installer beforehand and Syncthing would start along a defined list of other programms in an environment where opening web browser should not be possible. A simple command line option like -nogui would be really nice.
Thank very much for the great work!

There is a option on the webinterface and config.xml (located in ~/.config/syncthing) to deactivate it, the option in the xml is "`false`" But a switch to set the option at the first start before the config exists would be nice.
