Also of use to tell ssh to background itself:
-f      Requests ssh to go to background just before command execution.
This is useful if ssh is going to ask for pass-
             words or passphrases, but the user wants it in the background.
This implies -n.  The recommended way to start
             X11 programs at a remote site is with something like ssh -f
host xterm
