You can also run a function call in a script as a background job.
I've used that technique to spawn a few hundred threads that compete to write to a database before now.
You need to wait for them to finish before exiting the script of course.

Well played. Appreciate you for sharing that tip.

If you're running your jobs trough ssh and want your jobs to be persistent after terminating the session, you can disown the job from your user session with "disown". The syntax is even similar to the presentet ones - to disown job number 3: "disown (-h) %3"

Nice! Thanks for this tip

Good video! I’ve used nohup before but the bg and fg commands along with the ctrl z is nice!

[@techtimefly]

glad this was helpful. So many little tricks with linux. I’m always coming across something i didn’t know.

Thank you. I was using tmux for this, now maybe I'll reconsider my approach.

Glad the video was helpful. I hope it was easy to follow. Still working on my style

Why would you embed subtitles in the video picture?? It's absurd. Stop doing it. Closed captions have exited for literally half a century.
