nohup -- Command Run a command immune to hangups and quits nohup command [arguments] The command nohup tells the COHERENT shell to execute command while ignoring all hangup and quit signals. If you do not redirect the output of command, nohup redirects both the standard output and the standard error into the file nohup.out. If nohup.out cannot be created in the current directory, nohup redirects all output into the file $HOME/nohup.out. nohup is often used to execute scripts or pipelines that would normally abort if you logged out during the middle of execution. Examples If file is a shell script, then the command nohup sh file executes the contents of file in the foreground while ignoring all quit or hangup signals. The command nohup sh file & executes file in the background; you can log out safely and all the contents of file will still be executed. See Also commands, kill, ksh, sh, signal()
