The --non-interactive flag isn't global, it's per proccess, the docs
are unclear on this, since the flag used to be global on Mac OS 9.
As long as the process that is accessing the keychain is a child of
the Window Server somehow, UI will happen when needed regardless of
the flag in some cases (this is a known bug).
However if the process accessing the keychain is not a child of the
Window Server, it will not put up any UI regardless of the value for
this flag.
