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

       nohup COMMAND [ARG]...
       nohup OPTION

DESCRIPTION
       Run COMMAND, ignoring hangup signals.

       --help display this help and exit

              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 possible, ’$HOME/nohup.out’ otherwise.  If standard error is a terminal, redi‐
       rect 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.

Title: Nohup Command: Run Commands Immune to Hangups

Summary

The `nohup` command runs a given command while ignoring hangup signals. It redirects standard input from an unreadable file if it's a terminal, appends standard output to 'nohup.out' (or '$HOME/nohup.out' if the former is not possible) if it's a terminal, and redirects standard error to standard output if it's a terminal. It also provides options for displaying help and version information. Note that shells may have their own versions of `nohup`.
