Starting Remote Jobs

[Peter C. Bahrs]

How can I start a remote background job?

I have tried:
  rsh machine 'program &'     this waits on my local machine for termination
  rsh machine 'program &' &   this gives me a background process on the local
                               machine which I do not want.
  at time < command where command contains the line program &
                               this works whenever (i want it now though) but
                                I am no longer the parent of the job and thus
                               cannot kill it.

Any suggestions?
