Nohup not give expected output. Non-stop running process
Hello,
I am trying to make a bash script, I tested nohup but it did not help me.
My code is:

Code:
ffmpeg -i $input_url -c:v copy -c:a copy -listen 1 -f mpegts http://localhost:port/live/test

When I open it in VLC, it starts feeding my screen and I see bitrate values.
When I stop watching it, script ends but it does not go back to sleep mode.
To open it in VLC again, I need to run that command from terminal.
What I wish to accomplish is when the script ends, it should re-runs itself after killing reserved PID nr.

1.st attempt
Code:
nohup & ffmpeg -i $input -listen 1 -c:v copy -c:a copy -f mpegts http://localhost:port/live/test

2.nd attempt
Code:
nohup ffmpeg -i $input -listen 1 -c:v copy -c:a copy -f mpegts http://localhost:port/live/test &

Could you please let me know with which command I can make it running?

Thanks in advance
Boris
