[SOLVED] will a nohup job adapt to the file change?

Issue

Say I am running a nohup job with a python file:

nohup python -u train_model.py 2>&1&

If I make a change to the python file and save it, will the nohup job be affected?

Solution

Once you run the python program, regardless of using nohup or not, it will be loaded into memory and will not be altered when you change the source code which resides in your disk.

Changes will apply only if you re-run it after the initial process complete, or if you run it in parallel.
