What does nohup mean?

The nohup command is a tool used in Unix/Linux systems to execute commands in the background. Its function is to make the command ignore the hang-up signal and the execution will not be interrupted even if the terminal is closed. Usually, nohup will redirect the command output to the nohup.out file for subsequent viewing. If you want to know more about nohup, you can read the articles below this topic.
