How to terminate processes in the Linux terminal without closing it?

In Linux, closing the terminal will not automatically end the process, which will continue to run in the background. There are several ways to keep a process running after closing the terminal.

1. To use the nohup command: add the nohup command before the actual command, such as nohup command &. This will allow the command to run in the background, redirecting the output to the nohup.out file. Even if the terminal is closed, the process will continue running.
2. The screen command is a terminal multiplexing tool that allows you to create multiple virtual terminals and run commands within them. By using the screen command, you can create a new virtual terminal, run a command that needs to be continuously running, and then disconnect from the terminal. You can later log back in and reconnect to the previously created virtual terminal using the screen command, and the process will continue running.
3. To use the disown command: By adding disown before a command, for example command & disown, you can run the command in the background, detach it from the current shell process, and allow it to continue running even after closing the terminal.

It is important to note that no matter which method is used, after closing the terminal, you need to manually check and manage the background processes to ensure they are running properly and to promptly terminate any unnecessary processes.
