That will write "nohup: appending output to `nohup.out'" to the file somefile :-) The output from somecommand will still end up in nohup.out. I was hoping I could say something like "nohup -f somefile somecommand" or "nohup -o somefile somecommand", but nohup doesn't seem to accept command line arguments like this. zsh has a command "disown" which seems to do something similar to nohup, without the output redirection. But I don't know details. Kai -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
