Pp
If the standard output is a terminal, the standard output is
appended to the file
Pa nohup.out
in the current directory.
If standard error is a terminal, it is directed to the same place
as the standard output.
If the output file
Pa nohup.out
cannot be created in the current directory,
Nm
attempts to create the file in the user's home directory.
If the file
Pa nohup.out
cannot be created,
either in the current directory or the user's home directory,

will exit without invoking
