> **TLDR:** 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.
