EXAMPLES¶

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 &
