You cannot exactly get a list of commands started with nohup but you can see them along with your other processes by using the command ps x   Commands started with nohup will have a question mark in the TTY column

You can also just use the top command and your user ID will indicate the jobs running and the their times     top   this will show all running jobs     top -U  user ID    This will show jobs that are specific for the user ID

Instead of nohup  you should use screen  It achieves the same result - your commands are running  detached   However  you can resume screen sessions and get back into their  hidden  terminal and see recent progress inside that terminal   screen has a lot of options  Most often I use these   To start first screen session or to take over of most recent detached one   screen -Rd    To detach from current session  Ctrl ACtrl D  You can also start multiple screens - read the docs
