nohup does not produce the output by itself, it's done directly by the executed command. In fact, nohup just sets up the signals and redirection and the replaces itself by directly executing the command. > My request is: could the output be preceded by > 1) the name/PID of the process that produces the output. > 2) the time that the output was produced. There is no way to control the output after the command is executed. If you want to know which command produces which output redirect it manually to different files.
