Why did no one mention: $ /usr/bin/nohup --help Usage: /usr/bin/nohup COMMAND [ARG]... or: /usr/bin/nohup OPTION 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 '/usr/bin/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 documentation for details about the options it supports.
