Currently I have command pycharm to start Pycharm IDE. I use it like sudo pycharm and this launches Pycharm, but I have to keep terminal from where I've launched it open, because if I close it Pycharm being closed too.

Question is following.

How can I launch Pycharm(or any other application) and be able to close terminal from where it was launched? I tried nohup pycharm & but with no result. I need to run it with sudo

  • I can't think of any good reason to run a python IDE with sudo (especially not plain sudo, which is not meant for GUI applications) - can you explain why you need to do that? Without sudo, you could use the bash built-in disown command i.e. pycharm & disown. Commented Dec 15, 2014 at 12:08
  • If I run it as regular user I can not update from version control Commented Dec 15, 2014 at 13:47

Try the setsid command of syntax:

setsid program [arg...]

so in your case:

setsid pycharm

From man setsid

       setsid - run a program in a new session

for example: setsid firefox

You can use ALT+F2 gksudo pycharm or ALT+F2 kdesu pycharm `if you are running kde org gnome, but probably there really is no reason to run it as root.
