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 documentation for details about the options it supports.
