Hi Vikas,

I cannot address your problem directly.  I have a workaround.

I have gone through similar pains as you did.

This might be possible with the future async executions.

For the moment, I have settled down with the following solution:

  1. Tangle each source blocks as a script to the remote host.

  2. Tangle a Makefile to manage the execution, e.g. how the scripts are
     executed with which arguments.

  3. Login the remote host and open a tmux session and run "make" in the
     tangled directory.

With this workflow, all the programs are managed by org-mode, and they
are executed asychronously.  At the same time, I lose the flexibility to
run the scripts in a org spawned session, which is a trade-off.

Cheers,
Benda
