Hi,

Sorry for not being clear.

Here is the situation: I have setup my servers with a banner SSH (Option Banner in sshd_config). I am trying to use pssh and when I use the option -e error_dir, in the error log the banner is showing in it; this means the error log size is not 0. So I wonder if it is possible to by pass this small inconvenient?

It is not a big deal just a question.

Regards, JM

Unfortunately, pssh doesn't have any way of knowing what's part of the ssh banner and what isn't. All it can differentiate is whether ssh is writing to standard output or standard error. Is there an ssh option to omit the banner? If you're trying to get at the return code for each command (to determine whether or not there was an error), you can parse the output of pssh. Or perhaps we could consider adding an option to write all of the error codes to a file or directory.

Thx for answering :)

Issue #57 would make this less of a problem if you are not interested at all in stderr.

I've applied pablo.barbachano's patch for Issue #57, which lets you use --inline-stdout if you don't care about stderr. Does this address your concerns, or is there anything further that pssh could do?

I'm going to go ahead and close this issue for now, but feel free to reopen it if you feel that there is anything else that should be considered. Thanks for your participation with pssh.
