nohup allows me to run jobs on my servers and have them keep running even when I log off.
I’ll give you a few examples, but that’s no substitute for the docs! https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?nohup or just run man nohup
# for example, run my script.py even if I lose connectionnohup script.py
# but let's say I want to have my terminal back after running itnohup script.py &
# but my favorite is getting all the output and getting the pid!nohup script.py > script.out 2>&1 echo $! > script.pid
