How to remove ssh headers from log file?
 

Hi!

My name is swami and am a new joinee. Well, I have a question. In my ksh script, I would like to test for presence of a folder on a remote machine thro's ssh. In my code,I'm looking for status. I want only error messages to appear on screen and log file. I'm getting these, as well as ssh header messages , in my log file, as well as screen. Is there any way to turn off header in ssh, when it logs on to a remote machine.

I'm enclosing sample output below!

I don't want these headers inside the log file or appearing on the screen. If I direct o/p to null, nothing comes up. Any ideas are most welcome.

Have you tried redirecting only stderr to /dev/null? (i.e., ssh ... 2>/dev/null).

Other than that, I don't think it's possible to simply suppress that output.
