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.

I don't think that is possible without an active participation by a

What requires any kind of active participation? The only thing requested is that nohup open a file named with the current time and pid instead of /dev/null prior to exec()ing the given command.
