A couple possibilities:

/usr/bin/nohup

/usr/bin/screen


nohup will allow the output to be logged to a file, and keep the
process running when you disconnect.

screen will allow the actual 'console' to be preserved, so that
you can reconnect to it later.

(The manpage for screen is lengthy and may appear a little daunting
at first, but there are only a few concepts to learn to begin using
screen.  If you're doing much work over ssh, it's an extremely
useful command.)


Hope this helps,
