nohup
: Run a command immune to hangups
nohup
runs the given command with hangup signals ignored,
so that the command can continue running in the background after you log
out. Synopsis:
nohup command [arg]...
nohup
increases the scheduling priority of command by 5, so
it has a slightly smaller change to run. If standard output is a terminal,
it and standard error are redirected so that they are appended to the
file `nohup.out'; if that cannot be written to, they are appended
to the file `$HOME/nohup.out'. If that cannot be written to, the
command is not run.
If nohup
creates either `nohup.out' or
`$HOME/nohup.out', it creates it with no "group" or "other"
access permissions. It does not change the permissions if the output
file already existed.
nohup
does not automatically put the command it runs in the
background; you must do that explicitly, by ending the command line
with an `&'.
The only options are `--help' and `--version'. See section Common options.
