disown

Unbind a job from the current login session. Each jobspec is removed from the table of active jobs.

Syntax
      disown [-ar] [-h] [jobspec ...]
Key
-h Each jobspec is not removed from the table, but is marked so that SIGHUP is not sent to the job if the shell receives a SIGHUP.
-r Without a jobspec argument, will restrict operation to running jobs.
-a Without a jobspec argument, will remove or mark all jobs jobspec The job ID of a background job

If no jobspec is present, and neither the -a nor the -r option is supplied, the current job is used.

The return value is 0 unless a jobspec does not specify a valid job.

disown is a bash built in command.
