Others have mentioned "screen", but also have a look at:

    http://www.cliki.net/detachtty

It lets you start server processes which don't even *have*
a controlling TTY initially, and then connect to them later
if you like [and then disconnect again]. I use it on the
listener (REPL) of CL-based web applications servers.
*Very* convenient...
