nohup(1)

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

     SYNOPSIS
          nohup command [arg...]
          nohup {--help,--version}

     DESCRIPTION
          This documentation is no longer being maintained and may be
          inaccurate or incomplete.  The Texinfo documentation is now
          the authoritative source.

          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 `&'.

        OPTIONS
          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.
