I want to run the following commands and close the terminal:

mysqldump -udatabase -pdatabase database > db.sql && zip db.sql.zip db.sql && rm db.sql && mv db.sql.zip /var/www/vhosts/*/httpdocs && cd /var/www/vhosts/*/httpdocs && zip -r backup.zip . && cd && touch backup_is_ready

It works fine, when the terminal is open, but the ZIP will be about 40GB and I want to be able to close the terminal, or a disconnect can terminate the process.

So I have commands A && B

I tried

(A &) && (B &)

(A && B) &

{A && B} &

nohup sh -c "A && B"

nohup { A && B } &

and many other options, but nothing worked.

I just want to put the command string in the terminal, then close the terminal, come back after 1 hour and get it ready

I also have a longer command chain that starts with

sh <(wget -O - https://autoinstall.plesk.com/one-click-installer) && plesk bin init_conf --init -name "John Doe" -passwd "mypassword" -email "admin@example.com" -send_announce false -trial_license true -license_agreed true && plesk bin subscription --create example.com -owner admin -service-plan "Unlimited" -ip 000.000.000.000 -login username -passwd 'password' && ...

My command chains work great when the terminal is open, I only want to close it after putting the command chain in the terminal, but I don't want to create a file for it.

Is there any syntax that works without need cretae a bash file?

Thank you

1. Ctrl + Z to stop (pause) the program and get back to the shell.


2. 
   bg to run it in the background.


3. 
   disown -h [job-spec] where [job-spec] is the job number (like %1 for the first running job; find about your number with the jobs command) so that the job isn't killed when the terminal closes.

To startup a program in the background, use:

<your command> &

What I'd recommend is simply running what you'd like as two separate commands. Try:

user@hostname$ A &

user@hostname$ B &

If this process is too arduous or needs to be run frequently, you can enter these commands into a shell script. This script can then be run with

/path/to/my_script.sh &

As @Justin suggested, it is possible to move a command that is already in progress to the background. Pressing the keyboard keys 'Ctrl+Z' will pause the program and then running the command bg will resume this program in the background.
