Aug 19, 2023 at 14:46 comment added Allan Yes, you can do the exact same thing in macOS. HUP sends the "hangup" signal. It's the same signal that gets generated if you are running a process in the foreground and then disconnect your terminal (which is why you can execute a process with NOHUP). Whether or not the process respawns depends on if there's a helper running to do so; you may still have to relaunch it manually.
