.TH NOHUP 1
|
||
|
|
.SH NAME
|
||
|
|
nohup \- ignore hangup signal
|
||
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
\fBnohup\fP \fIutility\fP [\fIargument\fP...]
|
||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.B nohup
|
||
|
|
utility runs \fIutility\fP 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.
