I was curious what the oldest reference of it was,
https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo.git https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo.git
has different branches for various unix versions
Seems the earliest reference I could find in there was dated november 1973, but it is from a full import in 77:
commit c849507974bd2c0e2fd8c17e06f6f65b68075ca9
Author: Bill Joy <wnj@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU>
Date: Wed Nov 23 12:43:50 1977 -0800
Start development on BSD 1
Create reference copy of all prior development files
Synthesized-from: 1bsd
Some of the earlier copies i can see were even just shell scripts:
trap "" 1 15
if test -t 2>&1 ; then
echo "Sending output to 'nohup.out'"
exec nice -5 $* >>nohup.out 2>&1
else
exec nice -5 $* 2>&1
fi
Research-V3-Snapshot-Development did not have nohup
Research-V4-Snapshot-Development had the nohup man page but not nohup
Research-V5-Snapshot-Development has nohup.c
