Well, there's nohup the command, and nohup the shell built-in.
Redirections are a function of your shell. By the time a program runs,
all of the redirection has been dealt with.
Will _tee_ handle the closing of the output stream nicely?
Does nohup apply to all parts of a pipe? Or would you have to
put nohup before each piece?
