I'm a bit at my wits end with this one. I'm seeing a problem where an automated script fails if it doesn't have a tty. Stripping it right back, the issue is that (open)ssh to a Windows build box VM succeeds if openssh has a controlling pty, and fails if it doesn't. IE: ssh -T host command succeeds ssh -tt host command succeeds nohup ssh -T host command fails nohup ssh -tt host command fails I'm running under 'env -i' to clear the environment off. I have verified the MS end is not actually running the command (as opposed to merely the output not showing) - for one it's 100 times quicker without nohup. I'm running: OpenSSH_6.6.1p1 Ubuntu-2ubuntu2, OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014 -- Alex Bligh $ rm -f nohup.out; env -i nohup ssh -vvv -T -oGSSAPIAuthentication=no -oUserKnownHostsFile=unixbuild/known_hosts
