two ways:
a. by making your program a daemon. daemons are unix processes which run
without a controlling terminals - they keep running even when you are
logged out. you might be interested in checking out my 'daemons and
other monsters' lecture for haifux, on how to write daemons. it's
available at http://www.pointer.co.il/~mulix/daemon-lecture/
b. by using nohup(1). from the manpage:
nohup runs the given command with hangup signals ignored
and the scheduling priority increased by 5, so that the
command can continue running in the background after you
log out.
have fun..
