[ale] ssh remote command

[James P. Kinney III]

What would cause an ssh tunneled command to no return when it finished?

ssh -f remotemachine /usr/local/mynewcommand.sh

mynewcommand.sh is a shell script that runs the ssh port tunnel followed
by the nc command to transport serial port over to ssh forwarded port.
It ends with 

exit 0


What I see is the initial ssh never finishes and just sits there. I
thought once the command ran, it should terminate and the ssh closes. It
doesn't. puzzled. 

 I stuck in some echo"" statement so I can see what is happening and
everything runs OK on the remote machine.
