Suppress welcome message on bash remote command execution

I'm executing some commands on remote server within a shell script like this:

ssh user@host <<ENDSSH
...
ENDSSH

Upon login I'm getting a standard server welcome message echoed. Is there a way to send it to \dev\null but to keep displaying the output of executed commands?

Thanks.

You can edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config (for debian/ubuntu, your server might be different file) and turn the following setting to 'no'.

 PrintMotd no
 PrintLastLog no

Create a file ~user/.hushlogin on the remote host. This will suppress output from the login program when user logs in (such as time of last login and any message of the day).
