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 standard 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 described here. Please refer to your shell's documentation for details about the options it supports.

Exit status:

125: if the nohup command itself fails
126: if COMMAND is found but cannot be invoked
127: if COMMAND cannot be found
-: the exit status of COMMAND otherwise
