-q option in Net::OpenSSH

web has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

When I use ssh(1) from the command line I like to use the "-q" option to silence the legalese found on some servers with public access.

My question: how do I achieve this using Net::OpenSSH?

I have tried using the ssh_opts parameter to no avail.

You can use `master_opts` to pass options to the master SSH connection or just `master_stderr_discard` to get its output redirected to `/dev/null`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thanks! This was the solution. I used the %opts has on my call to new() and included master_stderr_discard => 1, inside that hash which I was already using for "user" and "password". Thanks again. You Monks rock! grin	[reply]

Is there a way to combine `master_opts => [-o => "StrictHostKeyChecking=no", ], master_stderr_dis +card => 1` [download] in one %opts ? Thanks.	[reply] [d/l]

So, according to the Net::OpenSSH docs, quiet => 0 By default, scp is called with the quiet flag -q enabled in order to suppress progress information. This option allows reenabling the progress indication bar. Is that what you tried? Can you show us your code, so we can replicate? #11929 First ask yourself `How would I do this without a computer?' Then have the computer do it the same way.	[reply]

First of all, I was using SSH not SCP. And since the "quiet" option only applies to SCP, this suggestion, while appreciated, was not applicable. My code was initially using ssh_opts. I tried applying this as a hash option to $ssh->open2pty() but that did not work. I finally used the suggestion from "salva" to include master_stderr_discard => 1, in the %opts hash on the call to new(). Thanks again.	[reply]
