Full Discussion: make a foreground running process to run background without hang up
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users make a foreground running process to run background without hang up Post 302230580 by bakunin on Saturday 30th of August 2008 04:44:34 AM

When you have already started the job you can use "nohup <pid>" to unattach it from the terminal you are on (this is the reason why processes stop when you log off - they are attached to a terminal and this terminal ceases to exist when you log off) so they won't stop when you log off.

Therefore:

Code:
$ job                    # starts the job
$ <CTRL-Z>               # stops the job
$ bg                     # puts the job in background
$ nohup <PID>            # unattaches the backgrounded job from the terminal

I hope this helps.
