Bill, thank you for the response. Your batch example also failed in that it
was still writing to the mailbox. You did put me on to a different thought
track though and I realized (finally) that the /usr/bin/batch script was
executing "at" with the -m parameter, telling it to write to mailbox. My
solution seems to be to edit /usr/bin/batch or to make a login specific
version that is put higher in $PATH. Thanks again.

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.
