Under bash, `disown' and then a %job number will disown that process and
leave it running.

`nohup' as in (``NO HangUP'') will make a new process ignoring signals
telling it to die.

Another option available is GNU `screen', which is the best thing since
`sudo'.  This allows you to connect and reconnect to your shell session from
different computers, or the same computer, or multiple computers at the same
time.  ...or just detach and re-attach at a later date.  You can also
`alt-tab' between several programmes.

In fact, `sudo' might be the best thing since `screen';  ...either way, it's
lunch time.
