How to redirect logs using nohup in Linux?

In Linux, you can redirect the nohup logs to a specified file using the following methods:

  1. Redirect the log output to a file using the redirection symbol >, for example:
  2. Run the command in the background and redirect the output to a logfile called logfile.log.
  3. This will write the output of the command to the file logfile.log, the ‘&’ symbol is used to run the command in the background.
  4. To redirect both standard output and standard error to the same file, you can use the following method:
  5. Run the command in the background and redirect both standard output and standard error to a log file named “logfile.log” using nohup.
  6. This will write the output and error messages of the command to the logfile.log file.
  7. If you want to append the output to a file instead of overwriting the existing content, you can use the >> symbol, for example:
  8. Run the command in the background and redirect the output to a file called “logfile.log”.
  9. This will append the output and error messages of the command to the logfile.log file.

Note: In the above method, the “command” refers to the command that needs to be executed, and “logfile.log” is the log file to write to.
