Yes. Please call the new option --output=FILE (no short-named option). If you do this, please also update the documentation: - in nohup.c's usage function add a line or two describing the new option (this makes it so --help output and the generated man/nohup.1 reflect the addition) - add a few similar lines in doc/coreutils.texi Note that nohup.c currently doesn't use getopt_long directly, but with your addition, it will have to do so. You should replace the call to parse_long_options with the boilerplate getopt_long `while'-loop.
