Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I was using sshping to feed into a network monitoring script and
needed no color.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Using the flag -n removes the color but did not remove the RESET
sequence ESC[0m
* What was the outcome of this action?
ugly escape sequence on non ANSI terminals
* What outcome did you expect instead?
all color changing ANSI sequences to be removed.
I did end up fixing the problem, but idk how to submit a patch file
line 284 needs this change
