Actually, if you're using nohup then it will already be redirecting
stdout and stderr, so
        nohup ./mldonkey &
will do.  Alternately you can use:
        ./mldonkey > mldonkey.log 2> mld_err.log &
or
        ./mldonkey &> mldonkey.log &
The first will redirect stdout and stderr to separate files, the second
to the same file.

This can be done simply by redirecting the output to /dev/null.  It's
probably best if you only redirect stdout to /dev/null and leave the
stderr logging to a file - that way you can see what errors there are
(the error log will be fairly small, it's the normal log which can grow
very large).
