TLDR: nohup (tldr-pages)

Allows for a process to live when the terminal gets killed.

  • 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}} &

NAME
       nohup - run a command immune to hangups, with output to a non-tty

SYNOPSIS
       nohup COMMAND [ARG]...
       nohup OPTION

DESCRIPTION
       Run COMMAND, ignoring hangup signals.

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
              output version information and exit

       If  standard input is a terminal, redirect it from an unreadable file.  If standard output is
       a terminal, append output to 'nohup.out' if possible, '$HOME/nohup.out' otherwise.  If  stan‐
       dard error is a terminal, redirect it to standard output.  To save output to FILE, use 'nohup
       COMMAND > FILE'.

       NOTE: your shell may have its own version of nohup, which usually supersedes the version  de‐
       scribed  here.   Please  refer to your shell's documentation for details about the options it
       supports.
