How can I prevent nohup from creating the file ~/nohup.out?
Solution 1:
You may redirect the output anywhere you like, for example:
nohup /bin/bash -c "sleep 15 && python3 /home/orschiro/bin/show_state.py" >/dev/null 2>&1
redirection prevents the default output file nohup.out
from being created. /dev/null
is oblivion, so if you don't want the data at all, send it there.
In bash you can abbreviate >/dev/null 2>&1
to &>/dev/null
For programs I use often I make an alias (and add it to my .bashrc
) for example
alias show_state='nohup /bin/bash -c "sleep 15 && python3 /home/orschiro/bin/show_state.py" >/dev/null 2>&1'
Now all I have to type is show_state
