In Linux, the nohup command by default redirects output to a file named nohup.out. If you don’t want the nohup command to output logs, you can solve it using two methods as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Redirect the output to \/dev\/null.<\/li>\n
  2. Run your_command in the background with its output redirected to \/dev\/null and any errors suppressed.<\/li>\n
  3. This method redirects both standard output and standard error to \/dev\/null, causing the output of the command to be discarded.<\/li>\n
  4. Redirect the output to an empty file.<\/li>\n
  5. Run your_command in the background while redirecting output to an empty file at \/path\/to\/empty_file.<\/li>\n
  6. This method redirects both standard output and standard error to an empty file, so the output of the command will be saved to this file but will not be displayed on the terminal.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    No matter which method you choose, you can ensure that the nohup command does not output any logs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
