How to run nohup and write its pid file in a single bash statement

Question

I want to run my script in background and then write its pid file. I am using nohup to do this.

This is what i came up with,

nohup ./myprogram.sh > /d         


        

Answer 1

This should work:

nohup ./myprogram.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 &
echo $! > run.pid
