disown

Allow sub-processes to live beyond the shell that they are attached to. See also the jobs command. More information: https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html#index-disown.
  • Disown the current job:
    disown
  • Disown a specific job:
    disown %{{job_number}}
  • Disown all jobs:
    disown -a
  • Keep job (do not disown it), but mark it so that no future SIGHUP is received on shell exit:
    disown -h %{{job_number}}
