I hope the list will continue to consider the entirety of the suggestions in my post.
What exactly do you refer to? I think the other suggestions seem to be based on knowing the PID, so given that this doesn't change due to execve(), a workaround seems to be possible already, e.g. a custom output logfile name "nohup.PID.out": exec nohup some/prg > nohup.$$.out Regarding an option writing the PID: well, what about all the other utilities executing other processes like env, nice, time, ionice, xargs, ...? It sounds like to become quite some bloat to the code of all the utilities of this class - especially as the PID does not change due to execve(). Have a nice day, Berny
