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

You just want to do 'nohup portupgrade -a &'
output will be captured in nohup.out.


Ben is right. When you run portupgrade with nohup and background the process -- either with '&' or by ctrl-z followed with a bg -- it gets suspended until the job is brought back to the foreground.

Portupgrade acts very strangely when it's not attached to a tty.
