ssh remote execution

it is mentioned in the manual pages of ssh(1) that

" The session terminates when the command or shell on the remote
machine exits and all X11 and TCP/IP connections have been closed."

I wrote a program which create a sub-process the sub-process will then
start another program remotely on another host. I was able to do that
using the following call after I fork another process

execl("/bin/ssh","ssh","user@host","~/dir/remoteprog",0);

However the process on the local host will not exit because of the way
remote execution is designed in ssh.

Is there a way to get around this and close the session before the
remote program finishes its execution.

Thanks in advance
