Found elsewhere on the web and modified.... in bash,

( ssh r...@ip -o PasswordAuthentication=no KbdInteractiveAuthentication=no
) & sleep 5 ; kill $!

Assuming whatever you're doing on the list of servers will take 5 seconds
to complete and continue.. if not, replace the 5 in the sleep with however
long it will take to complete the task.

If it hangs at a password prompt, it'll only hang for the sleep timer and
then continue on.
