| screen
Even a background command will be killed sometimes when the shell is closed. Instead, use the 'screen' command. that'll open a virtual window.
Type screen at a command prompt to open a virtual session. Run your program, then press Control-A, then Control-D to break away from the screen. To resume the screen, open another terminal window and type screen -r and you'll be reconnected.
