If you want to see the program's output later: ssh machine.network screen watch ls If you don't: ssh machine.network ls '&' The quoted & character will be sent to the remote machine as part of the command line, and it will put "ls" (for example) into the background. ssh will exit as soon as the command forks from the tty. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
