Banner messages - avoiding on "ssh host cmd"

Hi,

I fully agree about warning banners when a person uses ssh to interactively login to a host. But I access a linux box, hostGottaWarn, which prints out a warning banner when all it will do is execute a command. For example:

        ssh hostGottaWarn someCommand

does not just output the results from someCommand, but a "you must be authorized ..." message as well.

I use ssh to invoke executables on other hosts and process the results. The results processor is not expecting a extraneous text.

Is there any way to stop or throwaway the warning banner from hostGottaWarn?

thanks!

mark
