Solution 1: use "nohup"

example:

[root@blackmod ~]# nohup sleep 1234 &
nohup: ignoring input and appending output to `nohup.out'
[1] 2800
[root@blackmod ~]# exit
logout

logon again and check the sleep process with ps:

[root@blackmod ~]# ps -Fp 2800
UID        PID  PPID  C    SZ   RSS PSR STIME TTY          TIME CMD
root      2800     1  0  1331   476   0 06:54 pts/1    00:00:00 sleep 1234

A nice way to monitor the output of a nohup command ist to use tail -f:

[root@blackmod ~]# nohup find / -name test &
nohup: ignoring input and appending output to `nohup.out'
[1] 2909
[root@blackmod ~]# tail -f nohup.out 
/test/myfile
/test/myfilex
 

Solution 2: use "at"

To submit a command with "at" you just have to echo your command and pipe it to at:

[root@blackmod ~]# echo sleep 11111 | at now
job 1 at 2010-03-10 07:01
exit 

logon again and check the sleep process with ps:

[root@blackmod ~]# ps -ef | grep 11111
root      2942  2941  0 07:01 ?        00:00:00 sleep 11111
