ssh: terminal problem when executing command on remote server

Question

I have a local script, and I need to start a service on a remote server.

Normally, if I was logged in on the remote server, I would use for example:

service rsyslog restart

and I would see following output:

But when I connect non-interactively from my script, ie

ssh myserver.com "service rsyslog restart"

I don't get the colorized [OK] output:

And when I add -t option to ssh, I do get the colorized output, but then also I get extra verbose info Connection to server closed. which i don't want because it interferes with my script:

How can I get colorized output without the extra verbose info?

Answer 1

If you also add on the -q(uiet) option, it will suppress the disconnect line and other information messages:

ssh -tq myserver.com "service rsyslog restart"

 -q      Quiet mode.  Causes most warning and diagnostic messages to be suppressed.
