Morn guys...

The following works as a test ssh to fire off a remote cmd. However it
waits for the cmd to complete befor returning. I'm looking to run th
cmd as a background on the local/calling instance. Ultimaely, I'll be
testing this from py/php scripts.

ssh -t user1@67.205.151.05 'cat /cloud/hash2.dat | wc -l'

-would the following work?

ssh -t user1@67.205.151.05 'cat /cloud/hash2.dat | wc -l' &

It runs the (complete) local ssh cmd (including it's parameters) locally in background. If you want to run the remote cmd in background (cat /cloud/hash2.dat | wc -l) you must add the "&" before the closing "'" and not after.

But this means your ssh command likely may exit before the remote cmd finishes. Is this reasonable?

Kind regards

Im not sure if the "&" would be applied to the remote or local side
for the ssh. And yeah, I know I could run a few tests... but I thought
I'd get the opinion of some of you guys as well...!!

Thanks
