nohup(1)                                                    nohup(1)


       NAME
             nohup - run a command immune to hangups and quits

       SYNOPSIS
             nohup command [arguments]

       DESCRIPTION
             nohup executes command with hangups and quits ignored.  If
             output is not re-directed by the user, both standard output
             and standard error are sent to nohup.out.  If nohup.out is not
             writable in the current directory, output is redirected to
             $HOME/nohup.out.

       EXAMPLES
             It is frequently desirable to apply nohup to pipelines or
             lists of commands.  This can be done only by placing pipelines
             and command lists in a single file, called a shell procedure.
             One can then issue:
                   nohup sh file

             and the nohup applies to everything in file.  If the shell
             procedure file is to be executed often, then the need to type
             sh can be eliminated by giving file execute permission.  Add
             an ampersand and the contents of file are run in the
             background with interrupts also ignored [see sh(1)]:
                   nohup file &

             An example of what the contents of file could be is:
                   sort ofile > nfile

       FILES
             /usr/lib/locale/locale/LC_MESSAGES/uxue
                   language-specific message file [See LANG on environ(5).]

       REFERENCES
             chmod(1), nice(1), sh(1), signal(2)

       NOTICES
             In the case of the following command
                   nohup command1; command2

             nohup applies only to command1.  The command
                   nohup (command1; command2)
