When I run a script with nohup, the output is forced to the out.log file by default; is there a way to force the output to the screen instead of the file? I need to be able to see when my script gives me a "process started" message, and I don't want to clog up the system with log files.

That would defeat the purpose of nohup, use tail -f out.log instead.

Ahh, I see. I only really need to check output for a little while until I get a "JBoss started" message, so a tail should work. It wouldn't be a hassle to delete the log manually. Thanks.– Sean DNov 9, 2010 at 18:35
If you run bash, you can put it into the background, and then use disown to have it not shut down when bash closes. So your output is to the terminal, but you can close the terminal and still have your app run.
