Full Discussion: Sudo ssh with command running in background
Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Sudo ssh with command running in background Post 302957167 by Smiling Dragon on Wednesday 7th of October 2015 08:00:02 PM

In two of your examples you have a typo 'sudo/usr/bin/connectproc.

You can leave the ssh session connected by calling ssh with a -f flag to background as soon as it's finished authentication.

If you want to cleanly and reliably start the process running then disconnect the ssh session from it, protect your commandline from inline interpretation by pushing a small script up first, then calling it:
Code:
scp littlescript.sh targethost && ssh -t targethost 'sudo littlescript.sh'

littlescript.sh:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
echo "Starting the thing"
nohup /usr/bin/connectproc -standalone &
echo "Started the thing on pid $!"

SSH-ASKPASS-FULLSCREEN(1)				      General Commands Manual					 SSH-ASKPASS-FULLSCREEN(1)

NAME

       ssh-askpass-fullscreen - A simple replacement for ssh-askpass written with gtk2

SYNOPSIS

       ssh-askpass-fullscreen

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       gnome-ssh-askpass  is  a  GNOME-based passphrase dialog for use with OpenSSH. It is intended to be called by the ssh-add(1) program and not
       invoked directly.  It allows ssh-add(1) to obtain a passphrase from a user, even if not connected to a terminal (assuming that an X display
       is available).  This happens auto-matically in the case where ssh-add is invoked from one's ~/.xsession or as one of the GNOME startup pro-
       grams, for example.

       In order to be called automatically by ssh-add, ssh-askpass-fullscreen should be installed as /usr/bin/ssh-askpass

       ssh-askpass-fullscreen is a program that...

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The following environment variables are recognized:

       GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_SERVER
			    Causes gnome-ssh-askpass to grab the X server before asking for a passphrase.

       GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_POINTER
			    Causes gnome-ssh-askpass to grab the mouse pointer will be grabbed too.

       These  may have some benefit to security if you don't trust your X server. Keyboard is always grabbed.

       SEE ALSO
	      ssh-add(1), ssh-askpass(1).
