Run a command in background example: wget

Run the command in background on Linux:
$> nohup wget URL


This is true for running any command in background. Also, the command
generates a file called nohup.out, which might grow as the command
proceeds. So if you are downloading something using wget in
background, you can see the status by

cd <download_folder>
tail -f nohup.out
