  • This is conflating nohup and disown. The questioner is asking about the latter. Commented Aug 1, 2018 at 14:20

    And since nohup does what the questioner was asking for, I created this answer. It should be obvious that disown cannot do what the questioner likes to do, as disown just removes a job from the job table of a shell but does not have any influence on the job itself.

  • nohup was not what the questioner was asking for. This is pretty clear in the question, where it talks about jobs being killed by a shell when it exits, explicitly uses disown, explicitly distinguishes what it is talking about from nohup, and requests to perform the same thing as disown from outwith the shell.

    Reread the question: this was on how to detach the controlling tty and this can only be done via nohup. Commented Aug 1, 2018 at 14:54
