$ man nohup
       If the info and nohup programs are properly installed at your
       site, the
              info coreutils nohup
       should give you access to the complete manual.
So does info nohup.  Users will wonder what is up.

$ info nohup
       If standard output is a terminal, it is redirected so that it is
    appended to the file `nohup.out'; if that cannot be written to, it is
    appended to the file `$HOME/nohup.out'.  If that cannot be written to,
    the command is not run.  If standard output is not a terminal, then the
    standard output of COMMAND will be the same as that of `nohup'.

"same as that of `nohup'."... Maybe you mean "same as that of `nohup'
when run on a terminal, which is ..."?  It would be nicer if you
came out and said what the answer is even if it repeats something.

       If standard error is a terminal, it is redirected to the same file
    descriptor as the standard output.

Yes and what if it is not a terminal?  Try to give the answer without
further references that need to be interpreted.
