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-argv0

SSH-ARGV0(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 					      SSH-ARGV0(1)

NAME

     ssh-argv0 -- replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling

SYNOPSIS

     hostname | user@hostname [-l login_name] [command]

     hostname | user@hostname [-afgknqstvxACNTX1246] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-e escape_char] [-i identity_file] [-l login_name]
     [-m mac_spec] [-o option] [-p port] [-F configfile] [-L port:host:hostport] [-R port:host:hostport] [-D port] [command]

DESCRIPTION

     ssh-argv0 replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling.	If you link to this script with a hostname then executing the link is
     equivalent to having executed ssh with that hostname as an argument.  All other arguments are passed to ssh and will be processed normally.

OPTIONS

     See ssh(1).

FILES

     See ssh(1).
