using nohup with set of commands

hi

I want to use nohup command with set of commands ..
my goofy sample :
nohup while true do ; date; done

and its not working .

any idea ?
cheers

Hi.

This is a quote from the AIX nohup man page. I'm sure whatever your using will say much the same thing:

Actually I hope the man page for your UNIX / Linux explains it better - because that description was complete gibberish!
