.. _cmd-disown: disown - remove a process from the list of jobs =============================================== Synopsis -------- .. synopsis:: disown [PID ...] Description ----------- ``disown`` removes the specified :ref:`job ` from the list of jobs. The job itself continues to exist, but fish does not keep track of it any longer. Jobs in the list of jobs are sent a hang-up signal when fish terminates, which usually causes the job to terminate; ``disown`` allows these processes to continue regardless. If no process is specified, the most recently-used job is removed (like :ref:`bg ` and :ref:`fg `). If one or more PIDs are specified, jobs with the specified process IDs are removed from the job list. Invalid jobs are ignored and a warning is printed. If a job is stopped, it is sent a signal to continue running, and a warning is printed. It is not possible to use the :ref:`bg ` builtin to continue a job once it has been disowned. ``disown`` returns 0 if all specified jobs were disowned successfully, and 1 if any problems were encountered. Example ------- ``firefox &; disown`` will start the Firefox web browser in the background and remove it from the job list, meaning it will not be closed when the fish process is closed. ``disown (jobs -p)`` removes all :ref:`jobs ` from the job list without terminating them.
