Detatch  Detached execution.

In bash:

disown
see 'man bash'

In older shells:

( command >/dev/null 2>& 1 
It isolates the process from your shell with an extra process. When it
dies, the command will get 'init' as parent, and your shell will believe
that all children has died. (ceder, translated by me).
