Allows for a process to live when the terminal gets killed. More information: https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/nohup.

  • 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}} &
