SYNOPSIS

       nohup utility [arguments ...]

DESCRIPTION

       The  nohup  command executes utility immune to hangup signals, and, for
       /usr/5bin/nohup and /usr/5bin/s42/nohup, also immune to  quit  signals.
       If standard output is not re-directed by the user to a non-tty file, it
       will be appended to the file `nohup.out'.  If nohup.out is not writable
       in  the  current  directory, output is appended to $HOME/nohup.out.  If
       these  files  do  not  exist,  they  are  created  with  mode  666  for
       /usr/5bin/nohup   and   /usr/5bin/s42/nohup   or   with  mode  600  for
       /usr/5bin/posix/nohup and /usr/5bin/posix2001/nohup.  If standard error
       is  not  re-directed  by the user to a non-tty file, it will be sent to
       the same file as standard output.
