Both nohup and 'start-stop-daemon --daemon' will daemonize an application,
but start-stop-daemon calls 'daemon()' which is technically what's required.
nohup serves a related, but not the same, purpose. I would never use nohup for
a daemon: it's the wrong tool.

BTW, I just checked the latest CVS sources and busybox does not appear to have
nohup. So this discussion may not even be relevant to busybox.
