title: How to execute a job on a server on Lambda without waiting for the response?
body: <p>I am trying to spawn a mapreduce job using the mrjob library from AWS Lambda. The job takes longer than the 5 minute Lambda time limit, so I want to execute a remote job. Using the paramiko package, I ssh'd onto the server and ran a nohup command to spawn a background job, but this still waits until the end of job. Is there anyway to do this with Lambda?</p>
