nohup

nohup COMMAND [ARG]...
nohup OPTION

Run COMMAND ignoring hangup signals.

Options

If standard input is terminal, it'll be replaced with /dev/null. If standard output is terminal, it'll be appended to nohup.out instead, or $HOME/nohup.out, if nohup.out open failed. If standard error is terminal, it'll be redirected to stdout.

Examples

Run a process that can live beyond the terminal:

nohup {{command}} {{argument1 argument2 ...}}

Launch nohup in background mode:

nohup {{command}} {{argument1 argument2 ...}} &

Run a shell script that can live beyond the terminal:

nohup {{path/to/script.sh}} &

Run a process and write the output to a specific file:

nohup {{command}} {{argument1 argument2 ...}} > {{path/to/output_file}} &
