Sudo ssh with command running in background
I am trying to run a command. This is one of my attempts:

Code:
for i in fileservera; do ssh -t $i 'sudo ls /';done

This works, and I see the directories. However, what I want to do now is start a process on the remote server such as
Code:
/usr/bin/connectproc -standalone

Code:
sudo /usr/bin/connectproc -standalone

works fine on the remote server once I log in and run it. It even stays running when I logout.

But I can't get it to run when I use the sudo command with ssh. I've tried to use the following:

Code:
for i in fileservera; do ssh -t $i 'sudo/usr/bin/connectproc -standalone';done

and

Code:
for i in fileservera; do ssh -t $i 'sudo/usr/bin/connectproc -standalone &';done

it does not output anything, it appears to login to the remote server but I never see the command running. What would be the best way to get this command to run with the very simple script above?

This is my latest attempt:

Code:
for i in fileservera; do ssh -t $i 'nohup sudo /usr/bin/connectproc -standalone';done

This works, but as soon as I control -C (it gets stuck) the process dies on fileservera

Anyone have any idea?

I now tried to enclose with
Code:
for i in fileservera; do ssh -t $i '$(nohup sudo /usr/bin/connectproc -standalone &)';done

this works but it disconnects me at the end and the process dies in 30 seconds and does not keep alive

Also I have about 100 hosts with different Solaris/Linux so it is hard for me to use screen

locale::codes::langfam5.18

Locale::Codes::LangFam(3pm)				 Perl Programmers Reference Guide			       Locale::Codes::LangFam(3pm)

NAME

       Locale::Codes::LangFam - standard codes for language extension identification

SYNOPSIS

	  use Locale::Codes::LangFam;

	  $lext = code2langfam('apa');		       # $lext gets 'Apache languages'
	  $code = langfam2code('Apache languages');    # $code gets 'apa'

	  @codes   = all_langfam_codes();
	  @names   = all_langfam_names();

DESCRIPTION

       The "Locale::Codes::LangFam" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language families, such as those as defined in
       ISO 639-5.

       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 639-5
       language family codes will be used.

SUPPORTED CODE SETS

       There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language families. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a
       constant that is automatically exported by this module.

       For example, the two are equivalent:

	  $lext = code2langfam('apa','alpha');
	  $lext = code2langfam('apa',LOCALE_LANGFAM_ALPHA);

       The codesets currently supported are:

       alpha
	   This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639-5 such as 'apa' for Apache languages.

	   This is the default code set.

ROUTINES

       code2langfam ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       langfam2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
       langfam_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
       all_langfam_codes ( [CODESET] )
       all_langfam_names ( [CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::rename_langfam  ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::add_langfam  ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::delete_langfam  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::add_langfam_alias  ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::delete_langfam_alias  ( NAME )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::rename_langfam_code  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::add_langfam_code_alias  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::delete_langfam_code_alias  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
	   These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
