NOHUP(1)NOHUP(1)NAMEnohup - ignore hangup signal
SYNOPSISnohup utility [argument...]
DESCRIPTION
The nohup utility runs utility while ignoring the SIGHUP signal. This
allows the process to continue running after the current terminal
exits, for example when logging off a telnet session.
Unless output is explicitly redirected when invoking nohup, output is
appended to a file named nohup.out. This file is created in the current
directory or, if this is not possible, in $HOME. If the standard error
stream is not explicitly redirected, it is sent to the standard output.
