I haven't yet come across an implementation of nohup which knows a -p option.
But then I don't know every flavour of Unix.
Usually nohup is only executed on startup of a command given as argument but cannot attach to a running process.
If you are running your job control in Bash then you could use the built-in disown command like
Now you should be able to logout without the shell sending a SIGHUP to your disowned sleep job.
May I refer you to man bash:
Code:
disown [-ar] [-h] [jobspec ...]
Without options, each jobspec is removed from the table of
active jobs. If the -h option is given, each jobspec is not
removed from the table, but is marked so that SIGHUP is not sent
to the job if the shell receives a SIGHUP. If no jobspec is
present, and neither the -a nor the -r option is supplied, the
current job is used. If no jobspec is supplied, the -a option
means to remove or mark all jobs; the -r option without a job‐
spec argument restricts operation to running jobs. The return
value is 0 unless a jobspec does not specify a valid job.

atrm
atrm(1) General Commands Manual atrm(1)NAME
atrm - Removes jobs spooled by at
SYNOPSIS
atrm [-a] [-f | -i] [job_number...] | [user...]
The atrm command removes jobs that were created with the at command.
OPTIONS
Removes all jobs belonging to the person invoking atrm. If invoked by a privileged user, all jobs on the queue are removed. Suppresses
the printing of all information about the jobs being removed. Prompts before a job is removed; a response of y, or the locale's equivalent
of y, causes the job to be removed. Obsolete version of -a.
DESCRIPTION
If one or more job numbers is specified, atrm attempts to remove only those jobs.
If one or more usernames is specified, all jobs belonging to those users are removed. This form of invoking atrm is useful only if you
have superuser authority.
EXAMPLES
To remove job number 62169200.a, created by user chinn, from the queue created by the at command, enter: atrm chinn.62169200.a
Note that specifies an at job for sh. (.f specifies an at job for csh, and specifies an at job for ksh.)
FILES
Main cron directory. List of allowed users. List of denied users. Spool area. Queue description file for at, batch, and cron.
