Cool, thank you very much! I haven't had a chance to try this out yet, 
but I will give it a shot.

The issue I ran into with just regular old "nohup command &" is that, 
while it works just as you'd expect if you're ssh'ed onto a box and 
doing stuff, it doesn't work so well if you're just trying to send one 
command in and be done.

E.g. usually you might be able to do something like 'ssh me@box "cat 
somefile.txt"' but my colleague pointed out that to "disown" the process 
I'd need to do something like

ssh me@box "nohup command" & -- it's the ampersand outside the quotes 
that I wasn't sure how to deal with.
