3 nohup \- ignore hangup signal
5 \fBnohup\fP \fIutility\fP [\fIargument\fP...]
9 utility runs \fIutility\fP while ignoring the SIGHUP signal. This
10 allows the process to continue running after the current terminal
11 exits, for example when logging off a telnet session.
13 Unless output is explicitly redirected when invoking nohup, output is
14 appended to a file named nohup.out. This file is created in the current
15 directory or, if this is not possible, in $HOME. If the standard error
16 stream is not explicitly redirected, it is sent to the standard output.
