Hello,

I want to run a program in the background of a remote server. I wish
to
use ssh to do it. My first try was:

% ssh server \( program \& \)

It didn't work, ssh would hang. So I tried ssh with the -n option:

% ssh -n server \( program \& \)

It didn't work either. How should I fix that? Isn't there a way for
asking openssh not to wait for output of the program? Maybe I'm
missing
something on the manpage, but I got nothing :(.

ssh server 'program </dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 &'
