nohup output file

[Noah Heusser]

Hi

I wantet nohup to write in a /var/../logfile. So I addet a Parameter to
specify a File in witch the output is forwardet.

The original nohup.c File was taken form the coreutils-6.9. The modifyed
is attatched.
Sorry, i have no idea how to create a pach file.


Maybe sombody is interested in it.

Noah
