How do you use nohup in Linux?

In Linux, nohup is a command used to run a command in the background and ignore hangup signals (SIGHUP).

This is how to use nohup:

  1. Open the terminal.
  2. Input the command: nohup command &
    Here, “command” is the command to be run in the background, and “&” indicates that the command will be run in the background.
  3. Press the enter key to execute the command.
  4. Please close the terminal.

After using the nohup command, the command will continue running in the background even after closing the terminal. The output of the command will be redirected to a file called nohup.out, which can be viewed using the cat command or another file viewer.

Start the script “my_script.sh” in the background using nohup.

The above command will run the my_script.sh script in the background and redirect the output to the nohup.out file.
