sudo nohup nice <— in what order?

Question

So I have a script that I want to run as root, without hangup and nicely. What order should I put the commands in?

sudo nohup nice foo.bash &

or

noh

Answer 1

~ $ sudo nohup nice whoami
nohup: ignoring input and appending output to `nohup.out'
~ $ sudo cat nohup.out 
root

The difference between the first and second way you've done it is who owns the nohup.out file. sudo first will make it owned by root, nohup before sudo will make it owned by your user.
