The video tutorial explains the disown command, which allows users to detach a running process from their login session, ensuring it continues to run even after logging out. The command is a shell builtin, commonly used in bash. The tutorial provides a practical example by running a script in the background, disowning it, and demonstrating how it no longer appears in the jobs queue but continues to run. It also covers the behavior of such processes when logging off and back in, highlighting that they remain unaffected by the login shell.
