Linux: nohup – Keep an application running after you terminate your remote session

nohup is the perfect command line program to keep your applications running in the backgroup even when when you terminate your connection.
Example:
1. ssh into your server
2. type: nohup “the name of your long running application” &
3. exit

SYNOPSIS
nohup COMMAND [ARG]…

If standard input is a terminal, redirect it from an unreadable file. If standard
output is a terminal, append output to ‘nohup.out’ if possible, ‘$HOME/nohup.out’
otherwise. If standard error is a terminal, redirect it to standard output. To
save output to FILE, use ‘nohup COMMAND > FILE’.

NOTE: your shell may have its own version of nohup, which usually supersedes the
version described here. Please refer to your shell’s documentation for details
about the options it supports.
