Starting daemon using ssh

Subject: Starting daemon using ssh
Date: Tue, 2 Nov 2004 08:19:39 +0100
Hi!

While trying, to start a daemon on a remote machine using ssh, the client
doesn't return to the local prompt after performing the start-up of the
daemon. I'm using openssh 3.7.1p2, ssh-version 2.0 on Tru64 as the os.

The command, I'm executing is the following:
ssh -i <KEY> <USER>@<SERVER> "/usr/local/bin/sudo /<PATH>/daemon start &&
echo 'done' "

This results in:
- starting daemon
- writing 'done' to stdout
- nothing else, especially no return to the local prompt

But: When I stop the daemon on the remote site (while the ssh-session is
still active but kind of stuck), the local prompt returns (so: no further
stucking)!

This made me try the next command (new here: "/usr/bin/nohup"):
ssh -i <KEY> <USER>@<SERVER> "/usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/bin/nohup
/<PATH>/daemon start && echo 'done' "
... same difference.

Any constructive ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Sincerely,
Martin Binninger
