NAME
       nohup - run a command immune to hangups

SYNOPSIS
       command [arguments]

DESCRIPTION
       executes	 command  with	hangups	 and  quits ignored.  If output is not
       redirected by the user, both standard output  and  standard  error  are
       sent  to	 If  is not writable in the current directory, output is redi‐
       rected to otherwise, fails. If a file is created, the file's permission
       bits will be set to

       If  output  from	 is  redirected to a terminal, or is not redirected at
       all, the output is sent to

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
   Environment Variables
       determines the language in which messages are displayed.

       If is not specified in the environment or is set to the	empty  string,
       the  value  of is used as a default for each unspecified or empty vari‐
       able.  If is not specified or is set to the empty string, a default  of
       "C" (see lang(5)) is used instead of

       If  any	internationalization  variable	contains  an  invalid setting,
       behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to  "C".   See
       environ(5).

   International Code Set Support
       Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported.

EXAMPLES
       It  is frequently desirable to apply to pipelines or lists of commands.
       This can be done only by placing pipelines and command lists in a  sin‐
       gle file, called a shell script.	 To run the script using

       features	 apply	to  the	 entire contents of file.  If the shell script
       file is to be executed often, the need to type  can  be	eliminated  by
       setting	execute permission on file.  The script can also be run in the
       background with interrupts ignored (see sh(1)):

       file typically contains normal  keyboard	 command  sequences  that  one
       would  want  to continue running in case the terminal disconnects, such
       as:

WARNINGS
       Be careful to place punctuation properly.  For example, in the  command
       form:

       applies	only  to  command1.   To  correct the problem, use the command
       form:

       Be careful of where standard error is redirected.  The  following  com‐
       mand may put error messages on tape, making it unreadable:

       whereas

       puts the error messages into file

EXIT STATUS
       The following exit values are returned:

	      The command specified by
			command was found but could not be invoked

	      An error occurred in the nohup utility or the specified
			command could not be found

	      Otherwise,  the exit status of nohup will be that of the command
	      specified.
