  13. Why do these commands have different results?
  14.  
  15.     head /etc/passwd /etc/foo.bar > 1.out 2> 2.out
  16.  
  17.     nohup head /etc/passwd /etc/foo.bar > 1.out 2> 2.out
  18.  
  19. The second puts the standard error in file 1.out and leaves 2.out empty.
  20.  
  21. Why?  What can I do to get the output I expect?
