Run an application as a background process

[COKE CAN]

Hey guys!

I have my firewall (Endian) set up for distributed computing with F@H. I access the firewall using Putty. Now I can kick the program off but as soon as I close the Putty console, the program stops. Now I remember there being something like an arguement that allows me to run a program as a background process.

If you could help me it would be great!

Besides using & to put in the bg, if it's a program that's already running, you could hit Ctrl-Z then type bg %1
