You can also use "script" to capture the output fairly easily.

So you have to use two different programs, one of which is a port, to accomplish what nohup will do by itself. :) My point being that a lot of people seem to think that screen(1) is the answer, no matter what the question, when often simpler answers exist.

If you're one of those people, that's fine, I learned a long time ago I'm not going to change your mind. But I do think it's useful to note that there are other valid solutions, even if simply for completeness sake.

Maybe I am doing something wrong, but I have never been able to get nohup to work correctly with portupgrade for this sort of this. For example:

ianto# nohup portupgrade -a >& /tmp/port.log &
[1] 6238
ianto#
[1]  + Suspended (tty output)        portupgrade -a >& /tmp/port.log
ianto#
ianto# cat /tmp/port.log
ianto#

I've never had time to figure out why it suspends, though.  Anyone know?
