Do you mean to run programs in batch without user intervention?

In what? You haven't provided any information. What software are you using, is it server based, local install. What type of program.

If a session is closed prematurely then it stops at the point it was running at normally.

I am running sas program in server. Whenever LAN is disconnected, the programs are getting aborted. I heard there is one command called nohup, Can someone help to get the exact command and how to use it.

That's an easy one.

As soon as you have something that can be run from the commandline (eg a SAS program that can be run with the supplied sasbatch.sh), do

nohup sasbatch.sh program.sas &

The & at the end moves the program to the background (you immediately get your prompt back, and are shown the number of the background process). nohup prevents the sendig of a SIGHUP to the process in case the connection fails/is terminated.
