How to use nohup to start a shell script in Linux?

In Linux, you can use the following command to launch a sh script using nohup:

nohup sh your_script.sh &

Launching the script in the background as a background process and redirecting the output to the nohup.out file. By adding the “&” symbol, the program can run in the background without being terminated when the terminal exits.

In addition, you can also specify the name of the output file, for example:

nohup sh your_script.sh > output.log &

This will redirect the output to the output.log file.

Finally, if you want to redirect the error output of the script to the output file as well, you can use the following command:

nohup sh your_script.sh > output.log 2>&1 &

In this way, both standard output and standard error output will be redirected to the output.log file.
