    nohup myScript --option& exit Commented Feb 14, 2017 at 9:59
  • Nope it doesn't work. I tried replacing myScript with gedit and option with encoding and it doesn't work. However if I try removing option altogether, then it works. Commented Feb 14, 2017 at 10:06
  • --option& looks like typo, is it really legal? Commented Feb 14, 2017 at 10:07
  • Well no idea, maybe it is legal, but I am not sure if we can use exit after that. Maybe we need a semicolon or && before exit. Commented Feb 14, 2017 at 10:12
  • gedit puts itself in background. Commented Feb 14, 2017 at 10:19
