nohup command in submitting jobs to cluster

I am trying to submit a job to a cluster that may take up to a few days. Usually, for a shorter job, I simply do qsub Arun1_scr and then wait for the job to finish while monitoring its status with qstat. the Arun_scr is a basic script. If I want to be able to exit the shell and maybe even turn off the computer while the job is being done on the cluster all I have to do is nohup qsub Arun1_scr?

Thank you!

If you submit your job using qsub Arun1_scr you can exit the shell and it will still continue to run on the cluster. So, you do not need to change anything.

If you use nohup command and you want to run it into background the syntax is nohup command-name & ( without & your job will not be run in background and will be stopped after you close the shell).
