When you use the following command, in some cases a confirmation message appears, making it impossible to automate.

drush [@site.alias] vdel maintenance_mode
Enter a number to choose which variable to delete.
 [0]  :  Cancel                   
 [1]  :  maintenance_mode         
 [2]  :  maintenance_mode_message

Is there a way to make drush not try to be helpful when an exact match exists to a variable name?

Not possible yet. I suggest adding a --always-delete option which does this. That name matches --always-set in vset command.

Does -y not work here? I know I have this line in my deployment script and it works:

drush -r /var/www/drupal/docroot vset -y site_offline 0

@msonnabaum - that only works if there is one match, Look at the example moonray posted.

Yeah, I'd be ok with never prompting unless there isn't an exact match. It's always felt odd to me the way it works now.
