Bash: How to leave a process running even after it's user logs out

Question

The only way i've heard of is using the cron, but id rather do it ad hoc. Is there another way in bash?

Using nohup can also send both stdout and stderr to the same file of your interest other than nohup.out using the below method:

nohup ./your-script.sh > my-output 2>&1 &

You can keep the process running in background mode:

./your-script.sh &

OR

(./yourscript.sh &) &
