+Normally when you launch an application through the terminal, the standard output appears, and closing the terminal closes the application. The `nohup` command allows applications to run regardless of any hangups sent. Combine that with making it a background task, and you have a quick and easy way to launch applications through the terminal.
+
+```bash
+nohup application > /dev/null &
+```
