Agree with AlucardZero. In fact, nohup isn't a daemon anyway, it prevents the associated program from terminating when the controlling terminal exits. Short for 'no-hangup'; dates back to old days when all remote access (non-console) was over phone lines eg acoustic modems.
Hanging up the phone caused logout/exit and killed any prog associated with that terminal to exit.
NB '&' only sends the program to the background, BUT it's still associated with the originating terminal.
