UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers

hi

I am writing a script where I don't want to display banner on terminal.

below is the script. what should I do to avoid this without doing any permanent changes. I just don't want to avoid printing banner in my script.

Code:

 
 for i in `cat IP`
        do
        ssh root@$i  ' 
        hostname
        mt -f /dev/nst0 status | tail -1
        echo done
        '
        done

I have tried ssh -q option but it's not working

What banner do you mean - the remote host's system welcome and motd display?
If yes, consider defining the ~/.hush_login file (c.f. man login)

hi

thx for help

where I have to define this

Code:

~/.hushlogin

this is temporary change rite ?

You once create this empty file in the remote home directory.

Code:

ssh root@remotehost touch .hushlogin

MadeInGermanys comments might be confusing, so let me expand, for clarity:

The file ~/.hushlogin works on a per-user-basis and suppresses the display of the MOTD (message of the day) for the user account which has it in his home-directory when this user logs in. The effect is in place as long as the file exists.

Note, though, that it will not suppress the display of the herald!

I hope this helps.
