Is there a way to redirect nohup output?
1 Answer 1. GNU coreutils nohup man page indicates that you can use normal redirection: If standard input is a terminal, redirect it from /dev/null. If standard output is a terminal, append output to ‘nohup.out’ if possible, ‘$HOME/nohup.out’ otherwise. If standard error is a terminal, redirect it to standard output.
How can I Save my nohup command as a file?
If standard output is a terminal, append output to ‘nohup.out’ if possible, ‘$HOME/nohup.out’ otherwise. If standard error is a terminal, redirect it to standard output. To save output to FILE, use ‘nohup COMMAND > FILE’.
When to redirect stdout to a standard error?
If neither file can be created or opened for appending, utility shall not be invoked. If the standard error is a terminal, all output written by the named utility to its standard error shall be redirected to the same file descriptor as the standard output.

How to use the nohup command without getting nohusp.out?
The nohup command only writes to nohup.out if the output would otherwise go to the terminal. If you have redirected the output of the command somewhere else – including /dev/null – that’s where it goes instead. nohup command >/dev/null 2>&1 # doesn’t create nohup.out. If you’re using nohup, that probably means you want to run the command in
Why does nohup disassociate the application from the terminal?
To make sure that your application is disassociated from its terminal – so that it will not interfere with foreground commands and will continue to run after you logout – nohup ensures that neither stdin nor stdout nor stderr are a terminal-like device. The documentation describes what actions it takes:
