Interesting. Seems like an issue specific to the default Terminal app. Because for what it’s worth, iTerm2 doesn’t exhibit this behavior. (so in other words,
nohupis not actually broken on OS X; this just seems like special behavior in Terminal which looks for subprocesses on exit.)In many ways, iTerm2 it’s better than the default terminal. You should give it a try!
