disown: Disown a specific job.
$ disown %${job_number}
try on your machine

The command "disown %${job_number}" is used to remove a job from the shell's job control.

In this command, "${job_number}" is a placeholder for the specific job number that you want to disown. You need to replace "${job_number}" with the actual job number.

To find the job number, you can use the "jobs" command to list all the current jobs and their associated numbers. Once you identify the job number you want to disown, you can use it in the command.

By running the "disown %${job_number}" command, the specified job is removed from the shell's job control. This means that the job will continue running even if you close the terminal or log out. It will become disconnected from the shell and will not be affected by any further interactions with the shell.
