Re: [Gumstix-users] Program seems to close when bluetooth out of range

[Spencer O. <sp...@sp...>]

A simple solution is to try nohup, which stands for 'no hangup'. It 
keeps the program running after the console logs off. Best to redirect 
the output to the bit bucket as well.

I usually run like: `nohup <command> >/dev/null`
