SSH doesnt exit properly from command line
I ssh to another server and run a few commands - start a few processes that run on the server.

I then type exit - by my command line hangs.
I have heard that it is waiting until anything processes you are running complete, but these processes are going to run 24*7*365 so obviously I cant wait. Is there away around this without having to close my terminal?

I am running OpenSSH_3.8p1 on Solaris 8 and the server I ssh to is also running OpenSSH_3.8p1 on Solaris 8


Any ideas?

Create a wrapper script on the remote server that starts your process and then exits.

I tend to believe it an issue of communication between the client and server. I would tune the client to see if I can get around of it. Tom

Try running your command like this:

nohup command < /dev/null &

if that still hangs, try --- after you type in exit, press return and it looks like it's still hanging ... type in "#." (pound dot) ...
