How to restart a nohup process in Linux?

To reboot a nohup process running in the background, follow these steps:

1. Find the Process ID (PID) of the running nohup process using the command ps -ef | grep nohup.
2. Terminate the process with the command kill -9 PID. This will forcefully end the process, so make sure you have saved all data from the process.
3. Restart the process using the same command as when you originally started the nohup process. For example, if your command was “nohup command > output.log &,” you need to run that command again.

Please note that this method will terminate and restart the nohup process, which could lead to interruptions and data loss. Before proceeding with this action, ensure that you have backed up important data and that restarting the process will not have any negative effects on the system or other processes.
