I'd recommend starting it as a particular user not as root. I like to
generalise this and give the user a script file to run at boot, eg put
this at the end of rc.local
# start the users' background jobs off
if [ -f ~user/.rc.local ]; then
su - user -c ./.rc.local &
fi
And then something like this into ~user/.rc.local
#!/bin/sh
(cd ~/mprime ; ./mprime -d >>out.txt 2>&1 &)

Nohup shouldn't be necessary with the & if you are using a modern
shell (eg bash) though it certainly is necessary on some old /bin/sh's
