You can use nohup.

And if you retroactively want to exit a shell already running the process you can disown the running process.

You might also use screen to run the process in a shell to which you can return.

  • @fabianegli- is there any documentation available - how to use nohup – anoop ayyapan Feb 24 '19 at 12:22
  • You can type `man nohup` in the console/terminal/command line to read the manual (press `q` to exit the manual, `space` to scroll down and `b` to scroll up). There is also a simple example in [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/2975645/6018688) – fabianegli Feb 25 '19 at 12:42
