Linux: Making programs run in the console without it being tied to it If you just want to use the terminal interactively again, run the command in the background by appending
&
after the command:some_command &
If you want the application to continue functioning after closing the terminal as well, use
nohup
:nohup some_command &
All STDOUT and STDERR will be redirected to the file
$PWD/nohup.out
.Or
disown
:some_command & disown
Both
nohup
anddisown
will make some_command immune toSIGHUP
.Check
man nohup
andhelp disown
to get more idea on these. -
