Age	Commit message (Collapse)	Author
2006-03-23	(main): Ignore fd_reopen return value when ignoring input, since	Paul Eggert
	we've closed input at that point so we are ignoring input.
2006-03-23	(main): nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now	Paul Eggert
	redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
2005-08-12	(main): Explain why we reopen stdin for write-only access.	Jim Meyering

2005-07-15	(main): Don't worry about POSIXLY_CORRECT.	Paul Eggert

2005-07-03	Include fd-reopen.h.	Paul Eggert
	Include unistd--.h, not unistd-safer.h. (main): Use fd_reopen to simplify code. When replacing stdin, use "/dev/null" not "/", as that's less likely to go wrong these days. (main): Use dup, not dup_safer.
2005-06-03	Fix typo in comment.	Paul Eggert

2005-06-02	Don't use "path" or "filename".	Paul Eggert

2005-05-26	Fix typo in comment.	Paul Eggert

2005-05-26	nohup now redirects a tty stdin to an unreadable fd instead of closing it.	Paul Eggert

2005-05-14	Update FSF postal mail address.	Jim Meyering

2005-05-14	Update FSF postal mail address.	Jim Meyering

2005-05-12	(main): nohup now closes stdin if it is a terminal, unless	Paul Eggert
	POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
2005-04-23	(main): If getopt fails, exit with status 127, not status 1.	Paul Eggert

2005-04-11	Include unistd-safer.h.	Paul Eggert
	(main): Don't dup stderr to stdin or stdout by mistake.
2005-04-05	(usage): Mention that some shells provide a	Jim Meyering
	built-in function by the same name.
2005-03-19	(main): nohup now ignores the umask when creating nohup.out.	Paul Eggert
	nohup now closes stderr if it is a terminal and stdout is closed. Be a little more paranoid about return values; e.g., check for any negative return from open. Assume free (NULL) works. Close file descriptor leak when redirecting standard output to a file.
2004-11-17	(main): Use getopt_long rather than getopt.	Paul Eggert

2004-09-21	Include <getopt.h>.	Paul Eggert
	(main): Reject unknown options.
2004-08-03	(main): Use bool for booleans.	Paul Eggert

2004-07-04	(main): Don't pass NULL first argument to path_concat.	Jim Meyering
	This cleans up the semantics a bit, as we no longer try to open the same file twice.
2004-06-21	(main): Standardize on the diagnostics given when someone gives	Jim Meyering
	too few operands ("missing operand after `xxx'") or too many operands ("extra operand `xxx'"). Include "quote.h" and/or "error.h" if it wasn't already being included.
2004-04-20	(main) [!defined _POSIX_SOURCE]:	Jim Meyering
	Use simpler "signal (sig, SIG_IGN)" rather than sigaction equivalent.
2004-04-04	(main): Adjust to new calling convention for set_cloexec_flag.	Jim Meyering

2004-03-04	(main): Don't invoke set_cloexec_flag with a file descriptor of -1.	Jim Meyering

2004-03-03	Include "cloexec.h".	Jim Meyering
	(main): Set the copy of stderr to close on exec.
2004-01-21	(usage): Use EXIT_SUCCESS, not 0, for clarity.	Jim Meyering
	(main): Initialize exit_failure to EXIT_FAIL. (main): Use EXIT_ENOENT and EXIT_CANNOT_INVOKE rather than roll-your-own symbols or integers. (NOHUP_FOUND_BUT_CANNOT_INVOKE): Remove; all uses changed to EXIT_CANNOT_INVOKE.
2003-11-05	Cast NULL to `(char *)' in call to variadic function,	Jim Meyering
	parse_long_options, so that it works even on systems for which sizeof char* != sizeof int.
2003-10-18	Most .c files (AUTHORS): Revert the WRITTEN_BY/AUTHORS change	Jim Meyering
	of 2003-09-19. Now, AUTHORS is a comma-separated list of strings. Update the call to parse_long_options so that `AUTHORS, NULL' are the last parameters. * src/true.c (main): Append NULL to version_etc argument list. * src/sys2.h (case_GETOPT_VERSION_CHAR): Likewise.
2003-09-18	(WRITTEN_BY): Rename from AUTHORS.	Jim Meyering
	Begin each WRITTEN_BY string with `Written by ' and end it with `.'. Mark each WRITTEN_BY string as translatable.
2003-09-18	revert previous change	Jim Meyering

2003-09-18	Update AUTHORS definition to be a comma-separated list of strings and/or update	Jim Meyering
	the call to parse_long_options so that `AUTHORS, NULL' are the last parameters.
2003-07-23	Don't include headers already included by system.h:	Jim Meyering
	Don't include closeout.h.
2003-07-18	(NOHUP_FOUND_BUT_CANNOT_INVOKE, NOHUP_FAILURE):	Jim Meyering
	Use an anonymous `enum', rather than #define.
2003-07-13	(NOHUP_FAILURE, NOHUP_FOUND_BUT_CANNOT_INVOKE): Define.	Jim Meyering
	(main): Use them.
2003-07-11	New file. Rewrite of nohup.sh in C.	Jim Meyering
	This solves a portability problem: on at least Solaris systems, when nohup.sh used the vendor /bin/sh, it would exit with status of `1' rather than the required 126 or 127 upon failure to exec the specified program.
