Please perhaps add on the man page after
-n Redirects stdin from /dev/null (actually, prevents reading
from stdin). This must be used when ssh is run in the back-
ground. A common trick is to use this to run X11 programs
on a remote machine. For example, ssh -n shadows.cs.hut.fi
emacs & will start an emacs on shadows.cs.hut.fi, and the
X11 connection will be automatically forwarded over an
encrypted channel. The ssh program will be put in the back-
ground. (This does not work if ssh needs to ask for a pass-
word or passphrase; see also the -f option.)
these words:
Must be used if ssh is called from within a shell here document, or
else the rest of the document will be consumed even though the remote
program ssh is running accepts no input.
