Bill,
The mailbox entry comes from the batch command, not from the "xx" command. I
normally use "at now" rather than "batch", but they should work the same.
Try this:
batch >/dev/null 2>&1 <<!!
xx 1>>nohup1 2>>nohup2
!!
The file "nohup1" was empty because the command "xx" did not write anything
to STDOUT. If you use a real command such as "ls" (rather than "xx") the
output will go to nohup1.
