                          I have this:

    nohup_ntrs(){
      nohup_file="$HOME/teros/nohup/stdio.log"
      mkdir -p "$(dirname "$nohup_file")";
      echo " ------------- BEGIN $(date) -------------- " >> "$nohup_file"
      nohup "$@" &>> "$nohup_file"
      echo " ------------- END $(date) -------------- " >> "$nohup_file"
    }

but this syntax is wrong:

     nohup "$@" &>> "$nohup_file"

I was trying to use the >> operator for append but also send stderr there.
My guess is that the only way to do this is this:

     nohup "$@" 2>&1 >> "$nohup_file"

is there a less verbose way to do this?
