this will run 'some_command', store its standard and error output in 'output_file', and it runs in the background, so you can
do whatever you like with your term, like doing something else,
closing it. You can also shut X11 down and logout, this will not
prevent your command from running.
One of my issues is losing my ssh connection when my VPN client dis/connects; it sounds like nohup will survive that as well.
nohup won't (AFAIK) allow you to "reattach" to a running process once you've logged out/been disconnected--it'll have lost it's connection to the terminal--but screen will.
