nohup - dont want nohup.out but want log going to a different file on the remote server

I'm running the following command (where variables have valid values for ssh command and $file - is a .sql file).

nohup ssh -qn ${ssh_user}@${dbs} "sqlplus $dbuser/${dbpswd}@${dbname} <<ENDSQL | tee "${sql_run_output_file}".ssh.log
set echo off
set echo on
set timing on
set time on
set serveroutput on size 1000000
@${file}
ENDSQL
"

When I was using the above command without "nohup" before ssh command, after 1 hour or so, my connection from source server (where im running ssh) was getting an error/message "Connection reset...." and hanging my BASH shell script (which contains this ssh command in it). When, I use nohup, i dont see the connection issue.



Here's what I'm trying to get and need your help.

Thanks.

You can still lose the connection when running ssh under nohup, so it's not really a good solution. If possible, I would recommend that you copy the sql file via scp to the target server, then ssh in to the server, open a screen and run the command from there (Or run it under nohup). Is that an option?
