Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users how to run a process after closing the terminal Post 302134774 by digen on Monday 3rd of September 2007 11:05:23 AM

Executing the process from the background using the ampersand (&) at the end of the command and closing the terminal/shell will result in the command getting interrupted/exiting.

nohup will work and so will screen. Have a look at the screen command.

Code:
man screen

You will need the screen package installed first.
