NOHUP(1)			 User Commands			      NOHUP(1)

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 an unreadable file.
       If standard output is a terminal, append	output to 'nohup.out' if  pos-
       sible,  '$HOME/nohup.out'  otherwise.  If standard error	is a terminal,
       redirect	it to standard output.	To save	output	to  FILE,  use	'nohup
       COMMAND > FILE'.

       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.

   Exit	status:
       125    if the nohup command itself fails

       126    if COMMAND is found but cannot be	invoked

       127    if COMMAND cannot	be found

       -      the exit status of COMMAND otherwise
