When I run the following non interactive script on Ubuntu Server 13.04 it's interrupted when lxc-docker package finishes installation.

Script : 

ssh -o StrictHostKeychecking=no -t -t -i $CERT $USER@$SERVER <<'ENDSSH'

sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y install software-properties-common
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive add-apt-repository -y ppa:dotcloud/lxc-docker
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y update
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y install lxc-docker

echo "some other actions here..."

exit #SSH session

ENDSSH
exit

Everything seems to be fine but then the script is interrupted after this line in the output :

Processing triggers for ureadahead ...

1) Why is this happenning? How can I prevent that?

2) If not, how I can detect that ssh session has finished unsucessfully?

Last lines from installation (shortened) :

Just to state the obvious (as a work-around, not a proper solution), maybe try to scp the script to the server, and then execute the script...?

$ cat<<ENDSSH > /tmp/tmp.sh
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get ...
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y install lxc-docker
echo "some other actions here..."
exit
ENDSSH

And then,

$ scp  /tmp/tmp.sh ${USER}@${SERVER}:/tmp/tmp.sh \
  && ssh $USER@$SERVER 'chmod u+x /tmp/tmp.sh && /tmp/tmp.sh; rm /tmp/tmp.sh'

If that also terminates, then the remote commands may have to be run in the background, disconnect, followed by another ssh command to check the result of executing the script.
