Thanks for reply.
Yes, I knew the "script_name &" can put it background and I can logout, then check it next time login. Suppose the script doesn't trap any signal, or exit on signal, just an infinite loop and sleep, my confusion is if "script_name & " can have the job done, why prefer to use 'nohup'? What's benificial of using 'nohup'?
"man nohup" says it immune to SIGHUP. From user's point of view, if I don't trap or exit on SIGHUP, is there any reason that I must or better use "nohup" to start the script?

NOHUP(1) User Commands NOHUP(1)
NAME
nohup - run a command immune to hangups, with output to a non-tty
SYNOPSIS
nohup COMMAND [ARG]...
nohup OPTION
DESCRIPTION
Run COMMAND, ignoring hangup signals.
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
If standard input is a terminal, redirect it from an unreadable file. If standard output is a terminal, append output to 'nohup.out' if
possible, '$HOME/nohup.out' otherwise. If standard error is a terminal, redirect it to standard output. To save output to FILE, use
'nohup COMMAND > FILE'.
NOTE: your shell may have its own version of nohup, which usually supersedes the version described here. Please refer to your shell's doc-
umentation for details about the options it supports.
