My personal favorite is this:
#print 'command' | at now
That's the print command (your system should have the print command,
otherwise use echo) followed by the command I want to run in single quotes
(in case you have weird characters in the command), then piped to at. at
will daemonize it for you, and the added bonus is you can run it later very
easily by changing the "now" argument to a time, plus you can cancel your
"at job", as it is called, later if you change your mind. For details on
the at command, try "man at".
