Sagemaker Code Editor - Run Python script while computer is off

Question

Hello,

I am trying to train a model using a Python script inside of the Sagemaker Code Editor. The script is started from the terminal. When I shut the computer down, the script continues to run for a couple of minutes longer, than hangs itsself. When I log back in the Code Editor, the script continues to run from the point it stopped. How can I run python scripts in the background, so that I do not have to keep the computer on and still see the output in the terminal?`

Thanks!

Answer

> ℹ️ You can execute a Python script in the background using the **`nohup`** command, which ensures that the process continues to run even after you exit the shell or terminal. However, it's important to note that **`nohup`** does not keep the script running if the computer on which it is executed is turned off or shut down. For more details on using the **`nohup`** command, you can refer to this guide: [Nohup Command in Linux](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/nohup-command-in-linux#nohup-command).

#### Example: 
```batch
nohup python your_script.py > output.log &
```

Answer

Hello,

Please note that when we shut down, the terminal will not be able to record any output information. To continue to run the script and get the complete output even after you turn off your device, you can use "nohup" command.

```
nohup python script.py > output.log &
```
