Bash | Regain Prompt

byron.allen · November 14, 2016, 1:23am

Here’s a really basic Bash question. I can properly launch jupyter notebook with the ‘jupyter notebook’ command, but Bash doesn’t then display the command prompt. How can I regain the command prompt without stopping the jupyter notebook command?

Thanks.

Run the process in the background by appending an ampersand to the end of the command:

 jupyter notebook &

Or, more robustly, use nohup:

Better still, use tmux, and create multiple panes (after running tmux, press “ctrl-b”, then “%”) . http://wiki.fast.ai/index.php/Tmux

Jupyter notebook also has a bash kernel so you can have a browser tab that is a bash prompt. You can start a new bash kernel by clicking New then Terminal.
