I had used this command before, but I forgot it. nohup is a program that lets you run a command and lets it continue even when even when the user logs out.
The way you use this command is:
nohup <command to run> &
Then you can see the output by tailing nohup.out.

You could also have a look at "screen" (man 1 screen) -- useful for interactive programs
