I am sure this is a recurrent question but I failed to find one that had an answer that would fit my problem.
What I want to do is something like this:
alias disexit = " & disown & exit"
gnome-calculator disexit
So it would run the command line
gnome-calculator & disown & exit
Therefore as a result it would have an instance of the calculator running and no terminal floating behind it, without having to manually write the whole thing.
If possible, I'd like to have that alias to be permanent.
For future reference, novice users etc. it's good to explain why your alias doesn't work. It's because alias name needs to be the first word of a simple command. – Kamil Maciorowski – 2017-09-22T05:45:12.853
