Can I change the name of `nohup.out`?


bash logging nohup 

nohup some_command &> nohup2.out &

and voila.

Older syntax for Bash version < 4:

nohup some_command > nohup2.out 2>&1 &

bash logging nohup

For some reason, the above answer did not work for me; I did not return to the command prompt after running it as I expected with the trailing &. Instead, I simply tried with

nohup some_command > nohup2.out&

and it works just as I want it to. Leaving this here in case someone else is in the same situation. Running Bash 4.3.8 for reference.

bash logging nohup

Above methods will remove your output file data whenever you run above nohup command.

To Append output in user defined file you can use >> in nohup command.

nohup your_command >> filename.out &

This command will append all output in your file without removing old data.
