How to make a shell command persist when running from vim

Question

I've got a script I made mapped to a key in vim.

It runs fine, except that immediately after, vim terminates the shell, and that's what causes the script to not work right.

How can I get this to work right?

Answer 1

map your script using :!nohup COMMAND & and it should work. This will create a nohup.out file with any output from the command
