NOHUP(1) COMMAND REFERENCE NOHUP(1) NAME nohup - run a command immune to hangup and terminate signals (sh only) SYNOPSIS nohup command [ arguments ] DESCRIPTION Nohup executes command immune to hangup and terminate signals from the controlling terminal. The priority is incremented by 5. Nohup should be invoked from the shell with `&' to prevent it from responding to the next person who logs in on the same terminal. If the standard output and standard error are connected to a terminal, the standard output and standard error for the command are redirected to the file nohup.out. EXAMPLES The following example executes nroff(1) on the file text and sends the output to the line printer, even if the user logs off. Any messages that would be sent to the terminal are put in the file nohup.out. nohup nroff -Tlp text& Note that this command is being run in the background so the user's terminal is free while the command executes. FILES nohup.out Default standard output and standard error file RETURN VALUE Nohup returns the exit status of the command executed.
