NOHUP(1L) manual page
nohup - run a command immune to hangups, with output to a non-tty
nohup command [arg...]
nohup {--help,--version}
This manual page documents the GNU version
of nohup. nohup runs the given command with hangup signals ignored and
the scheduling priority increased by 5, so that the command can continue
running in the background after you log out. If the standard output is
a tty, it and the standard error are redirected so that they are appended
to the file `nohup.out'; if that cannot be written to, they are appended
to the file `$HOME/nohup.out'. If that cannot be written to, the command
is not run.
If nohup creates the file `nohup.out' or `$HOME/nohup.out', it creates
it with no access permissions for group or other. It does not change the
permissions of those files if they already existed.
nohup does not automatically
put the command it runs in the background; you must do that explicitly,
by ending the command line with an `&'.
When GNU nohup is invoked
with exactly one argument, the following options are recognized:
- --help
- Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully.
- --version
- Print version information on standard output then exit successfully.
