Continue running already back grounded jobs
From raju
Use the disown shell builtin to exit the shell but continue running already back grounded jobs. The syntax changes from shell to shell.
zsh
disown [ job ... ]
bash
disown [-ar] [-h] [jobspec ...]
Example:
foo & disown %1 exit
Relevant commands:
- find the parent pid
ps xao pid,ppid,comm | grep foo
- get information on a process
ps aux | grep NNNN
Ref:-
- https://www.slashroot.in/disown-command-linux-explained-example-usage - goes into the details; good explanation with relevant screenshots; has some typos;
- relevant section in zsh documentation: http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Shell-Builtin-Commands.html -> search for disown
- relevant section in bash documentation: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man7/bash-builtins.7.html -> search for disown -> go to the second hit
Note:- To attach a disowned job, the instructions in https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/31824/how-do-i-attach-a-terminal-to-a-detached-process might be helpful. But I have not tried them.
