6. Linux/Unix: disown Command Examples
If you’re a diehard command-line interface user like me, it’s important to have a deep knowledge of the tools available at your disposal — not just to dazzle co-workers clicking away with their mice but also to get a job done quickly and efficiently. If you’re familiar with managing jobs from the CLI you might also appreciate the disown command that allows a user to literally disown jobs from the current user so they’re not terminated when you disconnect (similar to how you may have run a command originally with nohup).
