Subject: [TCLUG] Keeping programs running

I'm wondering how I can run a program from a telnet/ssh session and
still have it running after I log off the session. 

e.g.  When I run the following command, it stops as soon as I log out. 
tree -d /usr > junk & 
Same with this one. 
lynx -dump some_50M_file_on_the_net > my_file & 

So how can I keep something running after I log out? 

Thanks 
Chris Frederick
