If standard error is a terminal and standard output either is a terminal or is closed, the same output shall instead be appended to the end of the nohup.out file as described above. Rationale This was unspecified in former versions of this standard. Not all implementations behaved this way in the past. XCU ERN 72 nohup Accept as marked below This is an interpretation. The standard has conflicting requirements , and so no conformance distinction can be made between different implementations For a future revision Change OUTPUT FILES to: Output written by the named utility is appended to the file nohup.out (or $HOME/nohup.out), if the conditions hold as described in the DESCRIPTION section.
