Issue
ssh localhost 'sleep 10' takes 10s to run so I was thinking what if I used nohup and &. Unfortunately, that didn't make a difference.
bash -c "nohup sleep 10 2> /dev/null &" returns immediately so I tried ssh localhost 'nohup sleep 10 2> /dev/null &'but that doesn't seem to make a difference.
Any ideas?
Solution
For nohup to work as you expect you also need to redirect stdout:
ssh localhost 'nohup sleep 10 > /dev/null 2>&1 &'
# OR
ssh localhost 'nohup sleep 10 >& /dev/null &'
