I connect to some mac machine using SSH and run a command similar to:
nohup /var/root/install.sh param1 param2 </dev/null >/var/root/vvv.out 2>&1 & echo '' ; echo ERROR_CODE:$?
It seems to work fine, but if I close the session in the middle of the install, the session gets stuck and is visible using the ps
command.
The same trick seems to work successfully on Linux machines.
Any ideas?

Could it be that this version is just too old? According to Wikipedia powerpcs were supported until until August 2006.
