i am a ubuntu user. i often open/launch programms from the command line / terminal. But when i close the terminal, the program also shuts down. Is there some way to let the programs stay open, even when the terminal, i launched it from, is closed?
Thank you in advance!
Use nohup:
$ nohup <command>
nohup: ignoring input and appending output to 'nohup.out'
From man nohup: "run a command immune to hangups, with output to a non-tty". Redirect standard output to /dev/null to avoid creating nohup.out.
I guess you can also use <command> & exit, but that will close the terminal immediately.
