NAME

       nohup - run a command immune to hangups

SYNOPSIS

       command [arguments]

DESCRIPTION

       executes command with hangups and quits ignored.  If output is not redirected by the user, both standard output and standard error are sent
       to If is not writable in the current directory, output is redirected to otherwise, fails. If a file is created, the file's permission  bits
       will be set to

       If output from is redirected to a terminal, or is not redirected at all, the output is sent to

EXAMPLES

       It  is  frequently desirable to apply to pipelines or lists of commands.  This can be done only by placing pipelines and command lists in a
       single file, called a shell script.  To run the script using

       features apply to the entire contents of file.  If the shell script file is to be executed often, the need to type  can	be  eliminated	by
       setting execute permission on file.  The script can also be run in the background with interrupts ignored (see sh(1)):

       file  typically	contains  normal keyboard command sequences that one would want to continue running in case the terminal disconnects, such

WARNINGS

       Be careful to place punctuation properly.  For example, in the command form:

       applies only to command1.  To correct the problem, use the command form:

       Be careful of where standard error is redirected.  The following command may put error messages on tape, making it unreadable:

       whereas

       puts the error messages into file

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

	      The command specified by
			command was found but could not be invoked

	      An error occurred in the nohup utility or the specified
			command could not be found

	      Otherwise, the exit status of nohup will be that of the command specified.
