- Don't assume environment variable HOME is not NULL.
o Integrate standards compliance from NetBSD.
- Allow -- before the command.
- Blocking SIGQUIT isn't standards compliant.
- Proper exit(3) levels.
- Actually append to nohup.out (as documented and required
by standard) instead of clobbering it.
o Remove some FreeBSD specific access(2) cruft (relating to
incorrect appending).
o Document the fact that two or more instances of nohup can
append to the same file.
o Constify; Staticize functions; Set WARNS?=2

.Dt NOHUP 1
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm nohup
|
|
.Nd invoke a command immune to hangups
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Ar --
|
|
.Ar command
|
|
.Op Ar arguments
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility invokes
|
|
.Ar command
|
|
with its
|
|
.Ar arguments
|
|
and at this time sets the signal
|
|
.Dv SIGHUP
|
|
to be ignored.
|
|
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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Some shells may provide a builtin
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command which is similar or identical to this utility.
|
|
Consult the
|
|
.Xr builtin 1
|
|
manual page.
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
The following variable is utilized by
|
|
.Nm :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width flag
|
|
.It Ev HOME
|
|
If the output file
|
|
.Pa nohup.out
|
|
cannot be created in the current directory, the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility uses the directory named by
|
|
.Ev HOME
|
|
to create the file.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility exits with one of the following values:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It 126
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar command
|
|
was found, but could not be invoked.
|
|
.It 127
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar command
|
|
could not be found or an error occurred in
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Otherwise, the exit status of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will be that of
|
|
.Ar command .
|
|
.Sh SEE ALSO
|
|
.Xr builtin 1 ,
|
|
.Xr csh 1 ,
|
|
.Xr signal 3
|
|
.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility is expected to be
|
|
.St -p1003.2
|
|
compatible.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Two or more instances of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
can append to the same file, which makes for a confusing output.
