Yes, bash itself prints them. It knows which background commands it has running and watches for them.

It prints those only to an interactive terminal, and even then, only when you're actually being active. for instance:

Code:
$ sleep 1 &
$ # it won't print the 'Done' line until we hit enter
[1]+  Done                    sleep 1
$

So I'm confused as to why it's not waiting for you. Could you show exactly what you're trying to do?

NOHUP(1)							   User Commands							  NOHUP(1)

NAME
nohup - run a command immune to hangups, with output to a non-tty SYNOPSIS
nohup COMMAND [ARG]... nohup OPTION DESCRIPTION
Run COMMAND, ignoring hangup signals. --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit If standard input is a terminal, redirect it from an unreadable file. If standard output is a terminal, append output to 'nohup.out' if possible, '$HOME/nohup.out' otherwise. If standard error is a terminal, redirect it to standard output. To save output to FILE, use 'nohup COMMAND > FILE'. NOTE: your shell may have its own version of nohup, which usually supersedes the version described here. Please refer to your shell's doc- umentation for details about the options it supports. AUTHOR
