I can play music in my music collection by typing:'vlc somefile.mp3 &'Which works great except that I always start receiving some signals from the execution of playing that song. In the following image the signals I dont want to be receiving is the heapload of information that starts running down the screen after the play_all command has been run here:I don't want to receive those signals, they are irrelevant.I have already tried adding > /dev/null at the end of the command which I thought would redirect the STDOUT away, but to no avail.How do I stop receiving signals when running music from the terminal?
Stop receiving signals when running music from terminal

You can stop receiving the HUP (hang up) signal by using nohup before your execution command, or you can use bash disown command to disable HUP effect for currently running job.nohup vlc somefile.mp3 &
