    - if user has rm set as an alias to 'rm -i' user is prompted to whether to
      remove the nohup.out file.

    	nohup: ignoring input and appending output to ‘nohup.out’
    	rm: remove regular empty file ‘nohup.out’?
    
    - if output redirected to a file nohup will not create nohup.out and rm is
      unecessary.
