ok so update: I found that the "ssh -q" variable does supress the sshd banner however when trying to do that in my command - it does not seem to work i assume because of the quotes? Can anyone point me to the correct syntax for how to make this work?
command="rsync -ahvz -e 'ssh -q' --delete" <-- this does not work because of the syntax around the ssh -q variable currently but
just doing a
rsync -ahvz -e "ssh -q" --delete /data/sourcedir/ server:/data/destdir/
from the command line does work correctly
so i guess the question is how to incorporate the ssh-q into my command statement
sorry - im a relative newbie on RHEL scripting so some of this may not come out well in my translation
