How to view nohup logs in Linux?
To view the nohup log, you can use the following command:
- View the latest content of the nohup log using the tail command.
- continuous monitoring of the nohup.out file
- View the whole nohup log using the cat command.
- view the contents of nohup.out file.
- If a background process is run using the nohup command, you can find the corresponding Process ID (PID) using the ps command, and then use the tail or cat command to view the log file of that process. For example:
- List all processes with the command ps -ef and use grep to filter by the process name. Follow the log file in real-time with the command tail -f
.
Please note that “nohup.out” is the default output log file name for the nohup command. If you use a different output file name in the nohup command, you need to replace “nohup.out” in the command.
