    Here is my setup:
    AIX 5.2 ML05 to AIX 5.2 ML05 using openssh 3.7.1

    I am trying to use remote command execution from machine A
    to machine B. On machine there is a shell script like this

    #!/usr/bin/ksh
    cd /dir/bin
    nohup ./foobar arg1 arg2 arg3 &
    echo $! > /dir/dir1/proc.pid
    exit 0

    On machine a I am doing

    ssh machineb "sudo -u daemon_user /dir/bin/foobar.sh "

    The sudo command works without a password, I test it locally
    on machine b. If I run the remote ssh command all output
    from the script on machine b is printed to my screen. It
    appears the ssh/sudo combination is ignoring the nohup and &.
    I did not write this script, it was (poorly) provided by a vendor.
    Any tricks on getting this working. I searched the net and
    didn't find anything.

    Thanks in advance,
    Jim
