How to remove 'connection to xx.xxx.xx.xxx closed' message?

if you add -o LogLevel=QUIET to the SSH command line, that message should disappear:

ssh -o LogLevel=QUIET -t $SSH "
      some 
      commands
"

You can also add it to the ~/.ssh/config file as a line saying LogLevel QUIET


That is coming from SSH. You see it because you gave the -t switch, which forces SSH to allocate a pseudo-terminal for the connection. Traditionally, SSH displays that message to make it clear that you are no longer interacting with the shell on the remote host, which is normally only a question when SSH has a pseudo-terminal allocated.


As Fran mentioned, this is coming about because of the -t switch. You can hide the message by appending:

 2> /dev/null

Your code would look like this:

#!/bin/bash

ssh -t $SSH "
    some
    commands
" 2> /dev/null

This redirects STDERR to /dev/null. Keep in mind all error messages that may be raised will also be redirected to /dev/null and so will be hidden from view.
