`nohup.out' if possible, `$HOME/nohup.out' otherwise. If
standard error is a terminal, redirect it to standard out-
put. To save output to FILE, use `nohup COMMAND > FILE'.

usually supersedes the version described here. Please refer
to your shell's documentation for details about the options
it supports.
