NAME
       nohup - run a command immune to hangups, with output to a non-tty

SYNOPSIS
       nohup COMMAND [ARG]...
       nohup OPTION

DESCRIPTION
       Run COMMAND, ignoring hangup signals.

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
              output version information and exit

       If  standard input is a terminal, redirect it from /dev/null.  If stan-
       dard output is a terminal, append output to  'nohup.out'  if  possible,
       '$HOME/nohup.out' otherwise.  If standard error is a terminal, redirect
       it to standard output.  To save output to FILE, use  'nohup  COMMAND  >
       FILE'.

       NOTE:  your  shell  may  have  its  own version of nohup, which usually
       supersedes the version described here.  Please refer  to  your  shell's
       documentation for details about the options it supports.
