SYNOPSIS
nohup [] utility [arguments]
DESCRIPTION
The nohup utility invokes utility with its arguments and at this time sets the signal SIGHUP to be ignored. If the standard output is a terminal, the standard output is appended to the file nohup.out in the current directory. If standard error is a terminal, it is directed to the same place as the standard output. Some shells may provide a builtin nohup command which is similar or identical to this utility. Consult the builtin(1) manual page.
ENVIRONMENT
The following variables are utilized by nohup: | HOME | If the output file nohup.out cannot be created in the current directory, the nohup utility uses the directory named by HOME to create the file. | | PATH | Used to locate the requested utility if the name contains no ‘/’ characters. | |
EXIT STATUS
The nohup utility exits with one of the following values: | 126 | The utility was found, but could not be invoked. | | 127 | The utility could not be found or an error occurred in nohup. | |
Otherwise, the exit status of nohup will be that of utility.
