gnu nohup

nohup runs the given COMMAND with hangup signals ignored, so that the command can continue running in the background after you log out.

nohup redirects standard output to the file 'nohup.out'; if that cannot be written to, it is appended to the file `$HOME/nohup.out'.

nohup redirects standard error to the same file descriptor as the standard output.

nohup does not automatically put the command it runs in the background so you must do that explicitly, by ending the command line with an `&'.
