nohup and ksh... 2.0 <> 1.1

[Jim Jagielski]

After I tried 2.0's version of nohup, I see that it DOES work with ksh.

Sorry... :(

You see, under 1.1, nohup didn't like ksh. Alias expansion worked OK (as long
as you didn't realias nohup from it's default) but your background process
would get killed if you logged off. Now when I got 2.0, I noticed in the man
page for nohup that it was stated that nohup "only operates in csh(1) and
sh(1)." I simply assumed that this meant that 2.0 nohup was the same as 1.1
nohup.

It's not.

Anyway, sorry about this confusion for all you 2.0 owners out there. If,
however, you have 1.1, then "knohup" is available...
