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.
