> If so then do not use nohup for this purpose.

Is there a special reason? For example I'm opening htop to watch the process list and after this I'm opening a new terminal and executing "nohup scite > /dev/null 2>&1 &" in it:

| /sbin/init
|- x-terminal-emulator -e htop
|-- /bin/bash
|--- scite
| ...

After closing the terminal:

| /sbin/init
|- scite
| ...

Calling scite directly with Alt+F2:

| /sbin/init
|- scite
| ...

So there is no difference for me.
