[3] Done >somefile 2>&1

Please you let me know what is to be done

Thanks in advance

nohup ...

Thanks for replying.

Thanks in advance

You don't see 'done', but you see the first one.
This is because your shell is interactive,
use a script:

$ cat s
#! /bin/bash

nohup "$@" > nohup.log 2>&1 &

$ ./s sleep 2
$ ps
