Is the program graphical? If not, then a line with:

What is the role played by /dev/null here? I tried the command with /dev/null and without. The behavior was the same.

Sets /dev/null as the standard input of the program. So, if it tries to
read from stantard input, it gets EOF. Otherwise, it would block in
/dev/console and could confuse any other program reading from the active
terminal.

Thanks for the clarification.
