Unfortunately the OS I'm connecting to does not contain nohup. It's a busybox linux on an embedded device. You can implement `nohup` as a shell script. See `src/nohup.sh` in ftp://ftp.slackware.at/slackware-3.3/source/a/sh_utils/sh-utils-1.16.tar.gz and the resulting `usr/bin/nohup` in ftp://ftp.slackware.at/slackware-3.3/slakware/a8/sh_utils.tgz. Reduced to the bare minimum, you just need a shell that implements the `trap` and `exec` commands. Having `nice` is a nice extra, but it is not strictly required; and even `cat` and `[` (`test`) are not needed if you make sure you always redirect STDOUT and STDERR when invoking the `nohup` script.
