nohup(1)                            CLIX                            nohup(1)



  NAME

    nohup - Runs a command immune to hangups and quits

  SYNOPSIS

    nohup command [argument ... ]

  DESCRIPTION

    The nohup command executes command with hangups and quits ignored.  If
    output is not re-directed by the user, both stdout and stderr are sent to
    nohup.out.  If nohup.out is not writable in the current directory, output
    is redirected to $HOME/nohup.out.

  EXAMPLES

    1.  It is frequently desirable to apply nohup to pipelines or lists of
        commands.  This can be done only by placing pipelines and command
        lists in a single file, called a shell procedure.  One can then issue:

        nohup sh file

        and the nohup applies to everything in file If the shell procedure
        file is to be executed often, then the need to type sh can be
        eliminated by giving file execute permission.  Add an ampersand and
        the contents of file are run in the background with interrupts also
        ignored (see sh):

        nohup file &


    2.  An example of what the contents of file could be is:

        sort ofile > nfile


  CAUTIONS

    In the case of the following command

    nohup command1; command2

    the nohup command applies only to command1.

    The command:

    nohup command1; command2

    is syntactically incorrect.
