You must use "nohup" at the beginning of the command if you intend to log
out.
Just putting a & at the end will still result in a kill signal going to the
process when you log out.
Nohup (no hangup) causes the process to disconnect from your shell's process
space and connect to "init", which is process 1 and never dies (we hope !).
An alternative is to use the "at" or "cron" command. They are very useful
for this sort of thing.
