How can I run a Linux command that still runs after I close my PuTTY SSH session?

Question

I am connecting to my NAS over putty which is running linux on it.

I wanted to move a big directory from one location to another. Is it possible to keep the process

Answer 1

Start your task with 'nohup' and put it in the background with '&', e.g.:

$ nohup mv /here /there &
$ exit

and it should continue running.
