.Sh NAME
|

.Nm nohup
|
|
.Nd invoke a command immune to hangups
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Ar utility
|
|
.Op Ar arg ...
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command allows the specified utility to be protected from termination
|
|
if the user should become logged out
|
|
(for example, due to a modem line or TCP/IP connection being dropped).
|
|
To do this,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
sets the
|
|
.Dv SIGHUP
|
|
.Xr signal 3
|
|
.Pq Dq terminal line hangup
|
|
to be ignored,
|
|
then executes
|
|
.Ar utility
|
|
along with any arguments.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the standard output is a terminal, the standard output is
|
|
appended to the file
|
|
.Pa nohup.out
|
|
in the current directory.
|
|
If standard error is a terminal, it is directed to the same place
|
|
as the standard output.
|
|
If the output file
|
|
.Pa nohup.out
|
|
cannot be created in the current directory,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
attempts to create the file in the user's home directory.
|
|
If the file
|
|
.Pa nohup.out
|
|
cannot be created,
|
|
either in the current directory or the user's home directory,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will exit without invoking
|
|
.Ar utility ,
|
|
with an exit value as described below.
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
The following variable is used by
|
|
.Nm :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width flag
|
|
.It Ev HOME
|
|
User's home directory.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh EXIT STATUS

|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility exits with one of the following values:

|
.Bl -tag -width Ds

|
|
The
|
|
.Ar utility
|
|
was found but could not be invoked.
|
|
.It 127
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar utility
|
|
could not be found or an error occurred in
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp

Otherwise, the exit status of
|
|

|
|
will be that of
|
|
