Ssh login without welcome banner

I use ssh from a program that sends commands to ssh and parses the responses. However, every time I log in, I get a welcome banner, for example:

Linux mymachine 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.54-2 i686 The programs included with the Debian GNU/Linux system are free software; the exact distribution terms for each program are described in the individual files in /usr/share/doc/*/copyright. ...

I do not need this banner, because my parser will have to deal with it. Is it possible to log in using ssh and not get this banner at the beginning?

This will run command1 command2 and command3 on remote_host.

 ssh user@remote _host 'command1; command2; command3'

Banners are not displayed.

You can disable this banner and other diagnostic messages by passing -q to SSH:

 ssh -q user@remote _host

If you want to make -q persistent for all SSH sessions, follow these steps:

 echo "LogLevel QUIET" >> ~/.ssh/config

To run commands remotely:

 #!/bin/bash SCRIPT=' #Your commands ' sshpass -p<pass> ssh -o 'StrictHostKeyChecking no' -p <port> user@host "$SCRIPT"

Try ssh -q to suppress banner message
