I suggest: cd / && ptp4l & If you want to monitor the execution status, there are multiple ways to do this. For example, in bash: pid=$? wait $pid If you are using systemd, there are ways to monitor and restart (if desired) services. Here is a very simple example from debian: https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsalsa.debian.org%2Fmultimedia-team%2Flinuxptp%2Fblob%2Fmaster%2Fdebian%2Fptp4l.service&data=02%7C01%7Cchristian.leeb%40ch.abb.com%7Cae36b1dbe86743e7f1cd08d5fb2b3ddc%7C372ee9e09ce04033a64ac07073a91ecd%7C0%7C0%7C636691085501308342&sdata=TIepk9wQiz5kMIyde4mzGAsZQVjTWvuVWh4IiXJZvmg%3D&reserved=0 Note that here systemd takes care of running in the background automatically.
