Suppose I have directory_name1.....100 I need to run

nohup rsync -a --delete empty/directory_name1/ for 100s of directories

Now when I run this command for the first time , I have to close console and again open it to run it for directory_name2.

Basically I 100s of directorys and I want to run the above command on all 100 of directories in parallel without manually typing the above command by opening new terminal again.

Does this answer your question? Difference between nohup, disown and &. Especially &, so it will be like nohup … &. – Kamil Maciorowski Jan 09 '20 at 00:19
@KamilMaciorowski I tried nohup...& followed by enter key, and its not letting me put another command it just got executed. – Jay Bhanushali Jan 09 '20 at 00:35
Maybe your cursor is below the new prompt because of what nohup prints from the background, but this doesn't mean you cannot invoke commands. Press enter again. – Kamil Maciorowski Jan 09 '20 at 00:39
