Re: nohup Versus setsid

 Lawrence D'Oliveiro <ldo@nz.invalid>:

It has long seemed to me that nohup(1) was an old, hacky way of
doing what can be done more elegantly using setsid(1). Compare
the docs for yourself
<https://manpages.debian.org/1/nohup.1.en.html> vs
<https://manpages.debian.org/1/setsid.1.en.html>, and tell me
why we still need nohup when we have setsid?

 Because there is a real difference between both of them.
